This course presents the database design process practiced when creating a
relational database; it also presents the relational database management
system’s architecture as well as the fundamental ACID properties of a
relational database management system. The extended entityrelationship
model and normalization will be used in designing relational schemas.
Relational algebra and its relationship to the SQL language will be presented.
Advanced topics include triggers, stored procedures, indexing, query plan
representation, elementary query optimization, and fundamentals of
transactions, concurrency and recovery. The course will also include an
introduction to NoSQL databases and provide students the opportunity to compare
SQL to NoSQL. Students will work in groups to define a database project that
includes the design and implementation of a database as well as an application
for interacting with the database.
