导入测试数据到 Mnesia 数据库

假如我们开始玩一个关于健康食品的小型数据库,可输入下列数据到文件data.txt:

{tables,[
    {fruit, [{attributes, [name, color, taste]}]},
    {vegetable, [{attributes, [name, color, taste, price]}]}
]}.

{fruit, orange, orange, sweet}.
{fruit, apple, green, sweet}.
{vegetable, carrot, orange, carrotish, 2.55}.
{vegetable, potato, yellow, none, 0.45}.

下列Erlang shell会话显示如何加载fruits数据库:

 $ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.3 [source] [smp:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6.3 (abort with ^G)
1> mnesia:start(). % 虽然 mnesia:load_textfile 也会启动数据库,但是在处理上次遗留的内存数据库上有问题,
会保留上次非正常退出时的内存表的结构,造成本次 mnesia:load_textfile 操作失败。出现注1的错误,造成无法导入本
次的数据。
ok
2> mnesia:load_textfile("data.txt").
New table fruit
New table vegetable
{atomic,ok}
3> mnesia:info().

这里我们能够看到怎样从一个规范的文本文件来初始化数据库管理系统。

注1:不使用mnesia:start 启动数据库直接载入数据会使上次运行的内存表未被清除,而和本次导入的表冲突,导入失败。

$ erl
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.3 [source] [smp:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V5.6.3 (abort with ^G)
1> mnesia:load_textfile(“data.txt”).
** Table fruit already exists on nowhere, just entering data
** Table vegetable already exists on nowhere, just entering data
{aborted,{no_exists,fruit}}
