# Reading smart contract storage

It is easy to read any database field of any contract.

## Read a single field <a href="#read-a-single-field" id="read-a-single-field"></a>

To read a single field execute the following command:

```
docker run --rm qanplatform/qvmctl query $CONTRACT_ADDR $DB_SLOT
```

Make sure you replace `$CONTRACT_ADDR` and `$DB_SLOT` with the right values.

## Read multiple fields <a href="#read-multiple-fields" id="read-multiple-fields"></a>

To read multiple fields execute the following command:

```
docker run --rm qanplatform/qvmctl query $CONTRACT_ADDR $DB_SLOT1,$DB_SLOT2,$DB_SLOTN
```

Make sure you replace `$CONTRACT_ADDR` and `$DB_SLOT{N}` variables with the right values. Also pay attention that DB\_SLOT variable names are separated by a comma and there is no whitespace inbetween.
