Databases

Copied!
( [database] )

Description

The Databases function, when executed with Paginate, returns an Array of References for child databases in the specified child database. If a child database is not specified, the returned child database references all belong to the current database.

The Databases function only reports child databases, so finding a database using this function requires you to use an admin key for the current database (a server or client key cannot be used to access any child database).

Parameters

Parameter Type Definition and Requirements

database

Reference

Optional - A Reference to a child database. If not specified, the current database is used.
