= Term: IterableStore =

A [wiki:Store] which provides means to iterate through the elements in the [wiki:Store], determine the size of the [wiki:Store] etc.

The distinction between [wiki:Store] and IterableStore is made because some very large, distributed data stores have no good way to iterate through all of the elements. !InfoGrid still allows those [wiki:Store Stores] to be used in those places where iteration is not required, e.g. as [wiki:Store] for a typical MeshBase.
