#' getData
#'
#' Acquire data as a Data object; see ?Data.
#'
#' Since series are given in columns (database format), this function builds series one
#' by one and incrementally grows a Data object which is finally returned.
#'
#' @param ts_data Time-series, as a data frame (DB style: 2 columns, first is date/time,
#'   second is value) or a CSV file.
#' @param exo_data Exogenous variables, as a data frame or a CSV file; first column is
#'   dates, next block are measurements for the day, and final block are exogenous
#'   forecasts (for the same day).
#' @param date_format How date/time are stored (e.g. year/month/day hour:minutes;
#'   see ?strptime)
#' @param limit Number of days to extract (default: Inf, for "all")
#'
#' @return An object of class Data
#'
