Once you have defined a model, then you can use create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations to add data to the model, manipulate the data, and query it. All LoopBack models that are connected to persistent data stores (such as a database) automatically have the create, retrieve, update, and delete operations of the PersistedModel class.
