IS 331-001 Database Design, Management and Applications Course Syllabus, V_0.9 (This is a preliminary version of the course syllabus; a final version will be available during the first week of classes. Note that we always reserve the right to subsequently make changes to the syllabus for the benefit of the class, and these will be announced in class.) Fall, 2011 Instructor: Dr. J. M. Scher Office: Room 4105 GITC (Office Hours (preferably by prior appointment) - Mondays, 5:00PM – 5:45PM, Tuesday, 4:00PM -5:00PM, Friday, 2:30PM – 3:30PM) Phone: (724) IS331NJ , (which is 724-473-3165), and is Dr. Scher’s Google Voice phone number); ( If urgent, you can also leave a msg. for Dr. Scher at the IS Secretary (973) 596-3368 ) E-Mail: [email protected] – use only this email address to contact Dr. Scher, and please do NOT send IS331 email to Dr. Scher's NJIT ADM account, and DO NOT message him through Moodle!) Textbook: D. Kroenke and D. Auer, DATABASE PROCESSING: FUNDAMENTALS, DESIGN & IMPLEMENTATION, TWELFTH Edition, Pearson/Prentice-Hall, 2012. ISBN: 10: 0132145375 or 13: 9780132145374 (Earlier editions of this text will NOT satisfy the course requirements - only purchase and use the current edition, which has a copyright date of 2012). Course Overview: IS331 introduces the student to database design, exemplary database applications, and the need for databases and their utilization as a strategic corporate resource. Topics include (1) data modeling (primarily E-R data modeling), (2) relational database design (including database integrity issues), (3) professional and ethical responsibilities of database professionals, (4)\ query design (including the Relational Algebra), (4) functional/multivalued dependencies, (5) relational decomposition and normalization (through 3NF, BCNF, 4NF and DKNF), (6) Denormalization and read-only/non-updateable databases, including data warehouses, and (7) Structured Query Language (SQL) and Oracle. Course Description (modified and adapted from Catalog): Businesses use databases extensively for analysis and decision-making because they provide efficient, large-scale information storage and rapid retrieval. Databases support the “back end functionality” of most large web systems. This course gives students extensive, pragmatic experience in designing, building, querying, updating, maintaining and managing relational databases, using the Structured Query Language (SQL). Proper database design principles are emphasized throughout the course, beginning with high level descriptions of relational databases using data modeling tools (such as ER (Entity Relationship) diagrams) and progressing to relational database design principles based on higher order normalizations. We will examine some poorly designed databases and show how these can be transformed into well designed databases. SQL will be extensively covered, and students will design and implement sophisticated SQL queries invoking self-joins, outer joins, correlated subqueries and related concepts. Students will explore and utilize design methodologies for input data validation and maintaining database integrity, and study related issues of database privacy and security. Advanced topics to be discussed include the role of the Database Administrator (DBA), database life cycle activities, database denormalizations, read-only databases and data warehouses. Hands-on experience will be gained by working with actual databases using industrystandard database management systems such as Oracle. Prerequisite: Completion of a 100-level GUR course in computing, such as IS118 or CS101 or CS104 or CS113. (It is also assumed that students have some familiarity with Microsoft Office (2007 or 2010), including Microsoft Access.) Exogenous Class Communication Space/Learning Management System: We will be using Moodle, an open source Learning Management System at NJIT, for the posting of projects and class resources. Students are obligated to log into Moodle on a near-daily basis, and to keep current. Course Goals: To understand the design and development issues regarding databases. Students will obtain a strong conceptual foundation of the underpinnings of database design, as well as gain experience with some commercial database management products, ranging such as Oracle. IS331 seeks to provide the student with the conceptual and pragmatic aspects and issues related to designing, implementing, managing, deploying and utilizing database applications, with the emphasis on the student’s comprehension of key concepts in database design (as opposed to programming or algorithms). The student will utilizes various DBMS products and software tools, such as Oracle, to put into practice the database concepts presented. Lecture Notes: Slides will be downloadable each week Course Grade Components: Midterm Exam (closed book) 33% Final Exam (open book) 34% Weekly Database conceptual assignments and DBMS projects 33% Policy on Collaboration/Cheating: Every assignment/project is a 'home-mini-exam.' The NJIT Honor Code will be strictly upheld. Students found cheating/collaborating/plagiarizing will be immediately referred to the Dean of Students and the NJIT Committee on Professional Conduct and subject to possible Disciplinary Probation, a permanent marking on the record, possible dismissal and a grade of 'F' in the course. All submitted assignments are carefully checked for similarities, and plagiarism and guilty students will be identified and referred to the Dean of Students for disciplinary action. Policy on Lateness of Submission: Every assignment will have a due date, and all submissions must be done in class by this due date. Assignments submitted after the due date will NOT be accepted. NO EXCEPTIONS. Below are the TOPICs covered in the course and the related TEXTBOOK readings. Remember one of the keys to success in IS331 is your own self-discipline - your goal should be to maintain currency each week, and NEVER fall behind!
