Course Description: This course introduces the foundations of database systems, focusing
on data modeling, query design, and applications. It provides an understanding of the issues
in designing and managing database systems as an essential organizational resource. We
cover the components of enterprise data management, and place a strong emphasis on data
modeling as well as the DBLC (Data Base Life Cycle). Implementing a database using SQL
is an art and a science and will be addressed in the course. Data warehousing and data mining
issues will also be examined.
Prerequisite: graduate student status
Class Communication Space/Learning Management System: We will be using
Moodle, a state-of-the-art, open source, Learning Management System (LMS), and is
nationally/internationally the fastest-growing LMS.
Course Goals: To understand the design and development issues regarding databases and
enterprise database management. Students will obtain a strong conceptual foundation of the
underpinnings of database design and enterprise database management, as well as gain
experience with some commercial database management systems, such as using SQL within
Oracle.
Lecture Notes: Powerpoint slides will be available for download each week in Moodle.

Our Strict Policy on Collaboration/Cheating: Every assignment/project is to be
regarded as an examination. The NJIT Honor Code will be upheld. A description of the
NJIT Honor Code is available for your review at
http://www.njit.edu/academics/honorcode.php . Students found
cheating/collaborating/plagiarizing will be immediately referred to the Dean of Students
and the NJIT Committee on Professional Conduct and subject to Disciplinary Probation,
a permanent negative marking on their record, possible dismissal and a definite grade of
'F' in the course. All submitted assignments are carefully checked for similarities, and
plagiarism and guilty students will be identified.
Policy on Submission of Assignments/Projects: The format of submission will be
announced with each assignment/project. If you are off-campus, generally the form of
submission will be “snail-mail” which MUST be postmarked on or before the due date of
the assignment/project. (Dr. Scher’s mailing address is Dr. Julian M. Scher, Dept. of
Information Systems, College of Computing Sciences, New Jersey Institute of
Technology, 323 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Newark, NJ 07102. The outside of the
envelope must state “IS631-851 submission.” If you are on-campus, you may either
hand-deliver the assignment/project to Dr. Scher, at his office, before the due data/time –
if Dr. Scher is not in his office, you may slide the assignment under his door.)
Our Strict Policy on Lateness of Submission: Every assignment/project will have a due
date, and all submissions MUST be made by this due date. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Assignments submitted after the due date will not be accepted.
Below are the TOPICs covered in the course and the related TEXTBOOK
readings. Remember one of the keys to success in IS631-DL is your own
self-discipline - your goal should be to maintain currency each week, and
NEVER fall behind! (Note: this is a very tentative schedule, and we reserve
the privilege to modify and edit these topics and textbook readings for the
