Hi skdishansachin, thanks for your answer. Basically you are right. I would like to add, remove or modify data without using the database management software. Please note, that the target application is not a Laravel application. The target application is a closed-source software. The software expects data in a database and I would like to be able to add this data to the database easily. Even more that that: The data should not be entered by the IT team, but by end users. That means that there needs to be some web pages which allow for data manipulation in the database. Of course, one could write this software manually (i.e. using plain PHP), but I thought that there might be software available which can do exactly that: Provide a frontend to manipulate data in certain tables of a database so that other software can work with that data. There's already a database available, so there's no need to have Eloquent create a database in the background and automatically save data there, the software should rather use an already existing database and expose some tables to the user allowing them to manipulate data (CRUD). (Of course, it would be no problem to manually write the Eloquent statements so that the existing database structure is also reflected there, but I am not sure if this is how it's meant to be used...) I am not sure if Filament is the tool I am looking for. Maybe? I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks again for your answer and hints!

Best regards, Thomas
