Database reverse engineering and dataset management
Who this is for
Admins and delivery engineers who need to bring existing enterprise databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL into Lovrabet.
What you'll be able to do
Connect the database, run the intelligent analysis, see your business objects in Dataset Overview, and know how to sync incrementally when tables change.
Before you start
- You are logged in to Lovrabet with admin access to the target app.
- The database is reachable from the public internet, or the network has been opened up as the product requires.
- The database-side allowlist includes Lovrabet's egress IPs (see the notice at the top of the connection page).
Step 1. Connect the database
Connect and onboard → sub-doc Database Connector (illustrated steps).
Path: Workbench → App → RabetBase → Database Connection Management → Connect new database → Test connection → Save.
Step 2. First full analysis
Click Full analysis on the connector card and wait for Success / Partial success.
Step 3. Incremental sync after schema changes
When table structures change, see Incremental analysis after schema changes (don't rerun the full analysis unless you've done a large-scale rebuild).
Step 4. Calibrate and keep building
- Calibrate fields in Business Data Model / Dataset Overview (see Understand reverse-engineering results and the business model).
- App Management → Overview → generate standard pages or describe your business needs.

| Connect and onboard | Entry navigation + Agent prompt quick reference |
| Database Connector | Connection + full analysis UI walkthrough |
| Incremental analysis after schema changes | Incremental sync after DDL changes |
| Help AI understand your data | How Agents use datasets after the analysis |

Let an Agent run it for you (optional)
Delivery engineers can send a prompt in Cursor or Claude Code and let an Agent use the Rabetbase CLI to connect and analyze the database. See Console actions ↔ Rabetbase CLI mapping for examples.
