Model-LAB is used to construct Labrador 'model files' by reverse-engineering existing data models and extracting the metadata. Model-LAB also presents the model graphically as an entity-relationship diagram. The model can be edited interactively through the diagram.

Model-LAB is a powerful development module that enables Labrador Technologies professional development team to easily model and reverse-engineer existing databases using advanced 'point and click' procedures.
