Obsidian doesn't have database-like features out of the box, so community plugins such as Dataview have to fill the gap. But Dataview comes with a steep learning curve, and can be difficult for beginners.
However, there's another community plugin that gives you database-like features without the need for complex code blocks, and with it you can have a database up and running in less than 5 minutes!
