When you embed a database in a page the height of the database is prefixed and not adjustable. I understand its supposed to be a preview but when your database includes a text summary this might mean the embedded view only shows one row without scrolling. This makes this view kind of worthless and thus why should i use a database and not just a table.

What i like about the database is that i could also quickly embed one specific row as a card. but again the card height when embedded is not adjustable and the user has to scroll to see everything even if its just one more card row. 

Really annoying and clunky user experience that could be easily solved if you allowed the height to be adjustable and not just the width

This is just one of the reasons I won't use databases in my pages. They are an eyesore when embedded. I really want to be able to just display the data like a Page Properties Report or a Table. Those two things visually align with the rest of the app. Databases stick out like a sore thumb, especially in dark mode (which the databases don't support at all)

Hi @Connor Howard and welcome to the community.

Embedded databases seem to act as links so the options mirror the settings for links.

Out of curiosity, I tried a Page Include macro but it doesn't work with a DB.

Having said that, Databases will leave their Beta status tomorrow so, hopefully, some of the issues that we all shared around here will be addressed.
