Can the Erlang ETS tables be shared among different processes? Thus, if I have two processes running on different Erlang running systems, can I somehow link them so that all the changes I do in one ETS table will be reflected in the other?
Within a single Erlang node, ETS tables can be fully shared by passing the public option to ets:new. (Beware that the table will be destroyed if its owner dies, though, unless you have set up an heir.)
If you need to share tables across several Erlang nodes, you need to use Mnesia.
