Additional Notes
- This is saved to the server SQLite database (sv.db or cl.db in the garrysmod base folder, depending on the environment used), so if you need to permanently store something for a player (e.g. play time on the server), use this function.
- If used serverside, data will be saved in the server's sv.db
- If used clientside, it will be saved in the player's cl.db
- You cannot access Persistent Data saved clientside from the sever. The same is true vice versa.
