Pages, subpages and databases have the same symbol
A full-page database is a stand-alone database
A dot is a view
There is always a database above a view
Shocking new insight (2022.12.09): The object above a view, seems to always be a database table
Another example
Document vs. floppy icons?
I was sure that sometimes there are document-like icons in front of entities, and sometimes floppy-like icons. I think that's not the case: They are all document-like icons, but due to aliasing, the sometimes look a lot smaller - Just change the resolution to check this.
