# `EEVM.Database.ReadError`
[🔗](https://github.com/mw2000/eevm/blob/v0.1.0/lib/eevm/database.ex#L84)

Raised when a database backend returns `{:error, reason}` from a read
and you called an `EEVM.Database` function directly; `reason` is that
reason. The entry points return `{:error, {:database, reason}}` instead.
