About the course
Aim
The aim of this course is to give a thorough introduction to the design, usage, and implementation of database systems. After the completion of the course a student should be able to:
- Design relational databases for different types of example domains by first creating a conceptual schema using the Enhanced Entity Relationship (EER) model and then translating this schema into a corresponding logical schema captured in the relational data model.
- Analyze and improve the quality of given relational database schemas based on the formal measure of normal forms.
- Employ the database language SQL to query and to modify several example relational databases, as well as to create such a database with a given relational database schema.
- Explain and apply basic concepts and techniques that database management systems (DBMSs) use internally to provide their main functionalities, which are the persistent storage and efficient retrieval of data, the efficient processing of queries, and the handling of concurrent access to a database.
Content
Principles for general database management systems: DBMS, Methods fordatabase design and use. Datamodelling with ER, Relational databases,Datastructures for databases, SQL, Relational algebra, query optimization, transactions, serialisation, concurrency.
