title: How to check Mnesia database of ejabberd
body: <p>I want to access Mnesia database of ejabberd server, But i don't know how to read,write and update the data, Is there a way by which i can do this. 
  Can i change Database to MySQL rather than Mnesia.
  I have tried this</p>
  
  <pre><code>{odbc_server, {mysql, "localhost", "xmpp_db", "root", "**********"}}. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here "xmpp_db" is the name of my database which is created for ejabberd, But i does not see any change in xmpp_db.
  Should i create any tables in "xmpp_db", But problem is what are the names of my tables and fields.
  I also have used </p>
  
  <pre><code>ejabberdctl dump /tmp/ejabberd.db.txt 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>command, But this is just for read the data(the data is in very roughly format and hard to understand). Is there any way by which i can perform read, write and update operations on Mnesia database.</p>
  
  <p>your help will be appreciated. </p>
