ETS 本地資料儲存

ETS 是 Erlang 表儲存系統，它提供基於雜湊的資料儲存和訪問功能。這些功能在恆定時間內執行。ETS 資料在程序執行期間儲存在該程序中。

以下是如何在 ETS 中使用一些簡單函式的示例。請注意，由於“goofy”沒有姓氏，所以表格不是正方形的。

示例程式：test_ets.erl

-module(test_ets).
-compile(export_all).

start() -> start( mouse ).

start( Animal ) ->
	Kingdom = ets:new( 'magic',  [] ),
	% note: table is not square
	populate( Kingdom, [{micky,mouse}, {mini,mouse}, {goofy}] ),
	Member = ets:member( Kingdom, micky ),
	io:format( " member ~w ~n ", [ Member ] ),
	%% show_next_key( Kingdom, micky ),
        %% Not work as expected in OTP 19.2
        %% Do a minor change
        FirstKey = ets:first(Kingdom),
        show_next_key(Kingdom, FirstKey),
	find_animal( Kingdom, Animal ).
	
show_next_key( _Kingdom, '$end_of_table' ) -> done;
show_next_key( Kingdom,  Key) ->
	Next = ets:next( Kingdom, Key ),
	io:format( " next ~w ~n ", [ Next ] ),
	show_next_key( Kingdom, Next ).

populate( _Kingdom, [] ) -> {done,start};
populate( Kingdom, [H | T] ) ->
		ets:insert( Kingdom, H ),
		populate( Kingdom, T ).
	
find_animal( Kingdom, Animal ) ->
	ets:match( Kingdom, { '$1', Animal } ).
