Database - Notion Docs
Skip to main content
A database is an object that contains one or more data sources. Databases can either be displayed inline in the parent page (is_inline: true) or as a full page (is_inline: false). The properties (schema) of each data source under a database can be maintained independently, and each data source has its own set of rows (pages). Individual data sources don’t have permissions settings, so the set of Notion users and bots that have access to data source children is managed through databases.

Object fields

Changed as of 2025-09-03In September 2025, the Data source object was introduced, and includes the properties that used to exist here at the database level.
After upgrading your API connection to 2025-09-03, the new database object shape is displayed, including an array of child data_sources but not the data source properties.
