# ramdb_db_fnc_get

## Description
Retrieves the value of a stored key from the database. This function performs an asynchronous request to the database and passes the retrieved data to the specified callback function.

## Syntax
```sqf
[_key, _function, _call, _netId] call ramdb_db_fnc_get
```

## Parameters
| Parameter   | Type      | Description                                                     |
|-------------|-----------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| `_key`      | String    | Name of the stored key to retrieve from the database            |
| `_function` | String    | Name of the function to call when data is retrieved             |
| `_call`     | Boolean   | Whether to call the function directly (true) or spawn (false)   |
| `_netId`    | String    | (Optional) NetID of the player to whom the data should be returned |

## Return Value
None. When data is retrieved, it will be passed to the specified function. The operation runs asynchronously.

## Examples
### Retrieve data in singleplayer or on the server:
```sqf
[getPlayerUID player, "ramdb_db_fnc_test"] call ramdb_db_fnc_get;
```

### Retrieve data on the server and send to a specific client:
```sqf
[getPlayerUID player, "ramdb_db_fnc_test", false, netId player] remoteExecCall ["ramdb_db_fnc_get", 2, false];
```

## Notes
- The function exit with an error if the key or function parameters are empty
- Data is processed through the scheduler system, which manages callback responses
- For large data that exceeds buffer limits, it will be automatically chunked and reassembled
- The callback function must be defined to accept the retrieved data
- The `_call` parameter determines whether the callback is executed directly or spawned in a separate thread
