P.S. At this point, as the result of my naive question, I've learned five ways to dump a dets table. What a cornucopia of riches! Thanks to all,

I for one still not sure why foldl on a table, as Joe Armstrong suggested, is better than match or select. There are other commonly used modules and apps which would benefit from more examples too, the first things that come to my mind are inets and crypto infrastructure with public_key.
