I have to use this code:

new String:players[SQL_GetRowCount(query)];

as you can see, I set length of array by count of rows in sql.
This code in OnPluginStart, but I need a global array(I can't set it in global area 'cause I don't know how many rows in sql).
Although I can declare an array in global area with fixed length of array, but it's bad.
So how to figure it out?

If you want to make it global, set the String size to some maximum you know you won't exceed.

E.g. If the string holds a player's name, set the maximum length to MAX_NAME_LENGTH.

it's an array of strings.
I just hoped there is exist another way & better way to do it.
Also I'll be able to use while if it's possible.

For a global array of strings use a 2-dimensional array. For example, for an array of players' names use:

new String:g_szPlayersNames[MAXPLAYERS+1][MAX_NAME_LENGTH];

In array I store steamid's of vip players. I do not need to use 2D arrays.
but thx for helping

That's a contradiction. An array of strings is a 2D array (since a string is considered an array itself). Anyway, use a maximum size of 21 for a SteamID.

may be I'm wrong, I just want to store e.g. 2 steamid's in array

players[1] = "STEAM_0:0:1";
players[2] = "STEAM_0:0:2";

I know that strings is already array of letters, so I have to make 'em 2D?

yep, you're right, thx

pawn is bad language(in contrast to the others), strings are array, every array I need to define it's size.(it's not all )
one advantage it is small(probably 'cause of this it is used by sourcemod)
