How to create mnesia table in Elixir?

How to create :mnesia table in Elixir? Is there a way to add indexes while creation?

For example I want to create a User table with few attributes.

Solution

  • Here is how to do it:

    :mnesia.start
:mnesia.create_table(
    User, 
   [{:disc_copies, [node()]}, 
     attributes: [:id, :name, :job], 
     index: [:name, :job]
   ])

    Note that first attribute will be indexed by default. For more information, visit elixirschool.com/en/lessons/specifics/mnesia/#starting-mnesia

    You also need to create schema before creating the table. Note that first attribute will be indexedy the node? by default. For more information, visit elixirschool.com/en/lessons/specifics/mnesia/#starting-mnesia
