====== dbRetrieve() ======

The ''dbRetrieve()'' function reads a data object from the [[:en:create:databank]], which was stored there using ''[[:en:create:functions:dbstore]]''.

''mixed **dbRetrieve**(string //key//)''

  * //key//\\ The database key to be created, updated or deleted. The key must be between 2 and 63 characters long. Special characters (e.g., ä ö ü) may require more than one character.

**Important:** Unlike ''[[:en:create:functions: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 ''[[:en:create:functions:dbset]]''.

Data imported from a table into the [[:en:create:databank]] can only be retrieved using ''[[:en:create:functions:dbget]]'', not using ''dbRetrieve()''.
