| Title: |
Database Management Systems |
| Description: |
The course follows the ANSI architecture standard for database development and focuses on the development and design of relational databases from a conceptual modeling direction. The class uses, specifically, the entity-relationship model for conceptual design and formulation of database concepts followed by relational theory, including normalization. This will be followed by implementation issues, including a brief introduction to structured query language. A small database development and implementation project is required in order to show the interplay between the design and development issues covered in the class and the actual implementation of the corresponding design. A research component is also required which allows the student to investigate other areas of database development and use that may be of specific interest.
