Modeling the data shows the relationships between tables. Bennyhoff Products and Services frequently uses Navicat to model Datawarehouse’s and complex reports. This product costs either $22 per month on a subscription bases or $367 on a one-time purchase. There is a free or express version that is available. The express version is limited but allows for clients to view and approve my work. I usually design a model for a client and send them the Navicat file and a link to the free version.
