This command reads the database file described by filename into the variable called name. The file must reside in the same folder as the document that references it. For example:

<!--.dbarray fruits="fruits.txt"-->

reads the file called fruits.txt into the variable fruits. Note that any previous value fruits may have had is overwritten.

This command will also set a number of other internal variables which describe the database. For a description of how to access the data contained in a variable created by this command, refer to the page on database variable syntax.

For a description of the Local parameter, please refer to the section on functions.
