Databases

A Database is a container within a Database Service. It holds Database Schemas, which in turn contain Tables.

Entity schema follows the OpenMetadata Standard.

Entity Hierarchy

Databases sit between Services and Schemas in the hierarchy:

DatabaseService
└── Database (this page)
    └── DatabaseSchema
        └── Table

When you set an owner or domain on a Database, it is inherited by all child schemas and tables.
