# Database

The **Database** module gives your project a schema-driven data layer on top of MongoDB — structured collections with validation, a full CRUD + query API, record-level triggers, taxonomies, saved aggregations, and CSV imports. You host MongoDB (or use a managed Flex cluster); Norbix owns the schema layer and the API surface.

## Screens in this module

**Collections** — your records and their schemas. **Taxonomies** — hierarchical terms you attach to records. **Aggregates** — saved MongoDB pipelines. **Imports** — CSV loading. **Integrations** — the MongoDB connection(s). **Settings** — module behaviour.

## Use it from code
