| Overview: | This course presents an introduction to the theory and practice of database systems. A database system consists of a collection of interrelated data (the database) and a set of programs to access that data. Database systems are used extensively for scientific, engineering, industrial, governmental, financial, and educational applications. In this course, we will study fundamental database concepts, relational database design, query languages, and database system implementation. While most topics are independent of specific implementation tools, students will use Oracle, SQL, and JDBC for CS 462/562 implementations. |
| Outcomes: | Each student will: learn the mathematical and theoretical underpinnings of database systems; apply this knowledge to the design and implementation of a working database system; use appropriate techniques, skills, and tools for this design and implementation; communicate effectively in describing, documenting, and demonstrating this system; and be exposed to contemporary issues in database systems research. |
