Contact: 26 hours of lectures and approximately 17 hours of practice classes
Timetable: First semester
Objectives:
On successful completion of this subject students should:
- understand the principles of database systems
- be able to design database schemas in a data model to suit the application
- be able to write efficient database queries in several data manipulation languages
Content:
Data models: relational, deductive, object-oriented, network, hierarchical, semantic; database design; relation normalisation; query languages including SQL; integrity; security; concurrency; query processing and optimisation; implementation of data models and database languages.
Assessment:
Up to three hours of written examinations at the end of the subject. Project work, which is expected to take about 36 hours, must be completed satisfactorily to pass the subject. Weighting of assessment components will be made known at the commencement of the subject.
