## excerpt: Set the value of stored key from RAMDb.

# ramdb_db_fnc_set

## Description

Stores a value in the database with the specified key. This function allows saving various data types (arrays, strings, numbers, or booleans) that can be retrieved later using the key.

## Syntax

[_key, _data] call ramdb_db_fnc_set

## Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`_key` | String | Name of the key to store the data under | ""
`_data` | Array, String, Number, or Boolean | The value to store in the database | []

## Return Value

None. The operation runs asynchronously.

## Examples

### Store a simple array:

["playerInventory", ["item1", "item2", "item3"]] call ramdb_db_fnc_set;

### Store player data under their UID:

[getPlayerUID player, [name player, getPos player, getAllGear player]] call ramdb_db_fnc_set;

### Call the set function remotely from a client:

["serverSetting", [true, 30, "normal"]] remoteExecCall ["ramdb_db_fnc_set", 2, false];

## Notes

- The function validates both the key and data before attempting to store
- If the key already exists, its value will be overwritten
- Complex data structures should be serialized into arrays
- There are no size limits for data, but extremely large values might impact performance
- For structured data, consider using hash tables instead of key-value pairs
