I love the docs ability to create databases from my docs. That would be super useful for work and research activities.

I’m in the engineering business. We have a PDM system that we check-in copies of component 3D models, PDF drawings and DOCs. Once your team has collaborated enough, you have a copy…once a week/day/hour depending on your preference. That way you can collaborate and keep frozen records and rev controlled documents.

Oh, you mean a spreadsheet?
No, because with the above you can have rich objects in databases (for example, a dynamically updated list of medical events, each with all the attributes I want, attachments etc.), and almost arbitrarily deep nesting of databases. The idea to have databases with pages is one of the key features that made notion successful. It allows to structure knowledge without duplication, in addition to provide some other no-code features.
Spreadsheets are not even close.
Exactly. Engineering research test write ups and results could be quickly searched for in a good document database.
