Description

The Database function returns a valid Reference for the specified child database name, within the specified child database. If a child database is not specified, the returned database reference belongs to the current database.

The Database function only looks up 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).

client.Query(
    Database("prydain")
);
RefV(id = "prydain", collection = RefV(id = "databases"))
result, err := client.Query(
	f.Database("prydain"))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
{prydain 0xc000162090 0xc000162090 <nil>}
System.out.println(
    client.query(
        Database(Value("prydain"))
    ).get());
ref(id = "prydain", collection = ref(id = "databases"))
client.query(
  q.Database('prydain')
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error('Error: %s', err))
Database("prydain")
result = client.query(
  q.database("prydain")
