Description

Returns a Persistent Data key-value pair from the SQL database. (sv.db when called on server, cl.db when called on client)

Internally uses the sql library. See util.GetPData for cases when the player is not currently on the server.

This function internally uses Player:SteamID64, it previously utilized Player:UniqueID which can cause collisions (two or more players sharing the same PData entry). Player:SetPData now replaces all instances of Player:UniqueID with Player:SteamID64 when running Player:SetPData
PData is not networked from servers to clients!

Arguments

The data in the SQL database or the default value given.
