About this Book
This book is common for the four applications in Erlang/OTP, which
manage databases. These applications are:
- Mnesia; to be used when
a continuous
operation and soft real-time properties are required.
- Mnesia_Session; to be used when the Mnesia Database
Management
System has to be accessed from other programming languages than
Erlang.
- Mnemosyne; to be used as a query language for the
Mnesia Database
Management System.
- ODBC, Open DataBase Connectivity; to be used when
various SQL
databases will be accessed.
