thanks for the feedback. yes,im aware of update_counter it works gr8 for incrementing my N. but what if i have a tuple/list/ as the id. shoud i be using mnesia in the first place ? would you use {node(),now()} if you were'nt on a distributed system? how do i notify when i reach a ceiling ? what's the latency in searching only within a specific node ? im sure you can't rule out situations where a one-type-fits-for-all. i just threw couple of different methods out there. thanks for letting me knwo about md5,sha . moreover i wanted to highlight tuples as id's . let's take this very url . ->{ node() , 132377} and simply read 32377 ->{ node() , erlang:md5(132377) } and decrypt while showing? -> how would you store this very url ?
