Databases (I),
This course is the first in a series of courses on designing and implementing database information systems.
The objective of this course is to prepare students to become able to implement a working database system using one of the popular commercial DBMSs. Topics include data and information, file system, database and database users, database system concepts and architecture, data modeling using the entity relationship (ER) model, the relational data model and relational database constraints, functional dependencies and normalization for relational databases, relational algebra and relational calculus, relational database design by ER and EER to relational mapping, disk storage, basic file structure and hashing, SQL-99 schema definition, constraints, queries, and views.
