inside Application.start() I usually call a function like CreateTable.create() where I use the :mnesia.create_table() function to create an mnesia table.
my base question: is this a proper way to create the table in production? cause every time the application starts it calls create_table for existing table. though it doesn’t do any significant harm (?), wanted to know if there is some conventional way.

my main question: where to perform table transformations while using it in production? Do I call some functions from Application.start() that invokes :mnesia.transform_table() like before?
