So would you then create a single document/file for each "entry" or "row" in your database? That would at least ensure that the ids (or filenames) of those items are unique.
It still a question of how that database becomes editable in a nice way though. Haven't seen any airtable like tools that work on such a structure.
- rlupi 2y agoYes, and the dataview plugin to visualize docs in a table, list or calendar (e.g. organized by tags, to identify their types). I am not aware of a editable table view, but you can surely have a index per document type that contains a dataview table and go to individual docs for editing. For me, the main thing that Obsidian lacks is formula support or more advanced reporting. I can so something with dataviewjs, or going to javascript (customJS plugin) but it gets messy quickly. You can also get nice visualization with a little work on templates and plugins: for example, I use Obsidian for weekly personal retrospective of my diary and I have a wordcloud graph in my weekly template.
- Igin 2y agoNice. Yeah I have a similar workflow. Still trying to have a more optimal workflow for editing relational data. Thanks for the input!
