Abstract
The Mnesia DBMS runs in the same adress space as the application owning the data, yet the application cannot destroy the contents of the data base. This provides for both fast accesses and efficient fault tolerance, normally conflicting requirements. The implementation is based on features in the Erlang programming language, in which Mnesia is embedded.
