The dbRetrieve() function reads a data object from the Database for Contents, which was stored there using dbStore().
mixed dbRetrieve(string key)
Important: Unlike dbGet(), data objects cannot be stored for different language versions.
Important: You can only use dbRetrieve() to retrieve data objects that have been stored using dbStore(), not arrays that have been stored using dbSet().
Data imported from a table into the Database for Contents can only be retrieved using dbGet(), not using dbRetrieve().
