I don't know anyone that uses this feature or has mentioned it. Admittedly most of the people I know that use Notion are non-tech

- input_sh 2y agoPretty much every template includes a database.
- thothsscribe 2y agoIf they use any table or any of the features where there are a group of objects (pages) that have different status or properties, they are using databases. It's pretty much something you accidentally create and use in notion without knowing unless all you are doing is writing documents.
- nacs 2y agoI'm in tech and don't use it either.. Citation needed on OPs "most people".
- bdemirkir 2y agoAnything needs to be shown on a table, calendar, etc. is a database. It doesn't matter if user deliberately uses it or not. One can have a look at all the Notion's templates (https://www.notion.so/templates https://www.notion.so/templates). All featured templates have databases. I also looked at all categories and their front pages filled with templates /w databases. Maybe 1 per category without it.
- nacs 2y agoThat's great but not every note taking program requires a database to attach metadata. I personally use Obsidian and it has support for all kinds of templates/metadata/tagging etc without a standalone database feature.
