Hi, Rubens!

PS: Evgeny, what do you think of adding a Post type called Information? I think the one I used is not adequate, but I had no options since the other types seemed lesser adequate.

Thank you! It's a good idea.  You always can submit a feature request for DC. I would say that this looks like a public discussion around product feature requests, right? To have DC as a sort of idea-portal.

Maybe we'll introduce something like this. But in order to have this more than conversation and to have some follow up on product development, we need to discuss it with Product management.

For now, I think this is more of type Question than Article.

Which implies that foreach iteration is not desired here.

Got you, this was the word "dictionaries". Removed it and added the comment about each element of array.

If you're sure that it would be less than $$$MaxStringLength then you can use $lb, otherwise use locals (which can be converted to ppg/globals easily).

Yes. Thanks.

Thanks, Ed! Two remarks:

1. You mention iteration over resultset and introduce an example of iteration over array of columns cortege or record.

2. My question is not about getting values from arrays like list, locals, ppg, globals but what is better to use when you have a case of full scan over the array that in some cases lists are handier vs locals etc. 

Though the question of what array is better when you need to get values for keys is interesting too, maybe it's another good topic for discussion. Answering your statement here I agree for LB the choice for value by position if it's not a very large (huge) array, where the global is the only answer.

I was looking at @David Underhill's code for Metrics project and decided that for one level global traversing his code style is the most readable:

    s database="" for {
        s database=$o(databases(database))
        q:database=""

...

}

And in general:

s iter="" for {

    s iter=$o(^array(iter)) q:iter=""

 // do something

}

So, use for instead of while for global traversing and this is readable and you never miss the next set is in while example.

1 - Is there any plans to automatize the module.xml generation by using something like a Wizard?

Submit an issue?  More over, craft a module which supports that! And PR - it's a Community Package manager.

3 - Is it possible to run pre/post-install scripts as well? Kind of what installer classes do.

I think, this already in place. @Dmitry Maslennikov who contributed a lot will comment.

4 - Is also possible to use the module.xmlto provide a contextual root?

We maybe can use the code! Thanks! @Dmitry Maslennikov ?
