The number of tables stored at one Erlang node used to be limited. This is no longer the case (except by memory usage). The previous default limit was about 1400 tables and could be increased by setting the environment variable - ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES before starting the Erlang runtime - system. This hard limit has been removed, but it is currently + ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES or the command line option + +e before starting the + Erlang runtime system. This hard limit has been removed, but it is currently useful to set the ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES anyway. It should be set to an approximate of the maximum amount of tables used. This since an internal table for named tables is sized using this value. If -- cgit v1.2.3
