Introduction to Database Technology course DT228/3 Semester 1 Breakdown of course • This course is valued at 5 ECTS points. • There are 36 contact hours, leaving 64 self-study hours. • Weekly contact hours: – 1 hour lecture – 1 hour tutorial – 1 hour lab • Self-Study expectations: – – – – Finish all lab / tutorial exercises assigned to you. Undertake one lab test Undertake one assignment, as part of a group. Learn the theoretical and practical content of the course. Lectures • Design – Designing a data model using Normalisation • Practical – Standard SQL and Oracle PL/SQL to allow for lab classes. • Theoretical – Architecture and usage of RDBMS. – Theory of concurrent usage, architecture, data protection, security, recovery. Tutorials • Practice of database schema design. • Problems relating to concurrency and transaction design. • Design of a relational model (in a group) for a system from a set description. • Design and specification of queries and transactions that would be required by the users of the designed system. Practicals • Introduction to Oracle SQL*Plus. • Implementation of standard query types on a populated schema. • Creation and population of a schema as designed in tutorials. • Implementation of task-based queries. • Implementation of task-based transactions, using commit and roll-back, taking concurrency issues into account. • Some time will be given to doing your lab test and assignment. Assessment • 30% practical: – 10% lab test. – 20% group system implementation. • 70% examination (2 hours): – 4 questions, answer 3. • Q1 compulsory, worth 40%, – based on tutorial and practical work. • Q2, 3 and 4 worth 30% each. – Based on tutorial, practical and theory work. You will learn • Data modelling • Relational database theory • Use of Oracle Database 10g, using the SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus tools. • Design and implement: – Queries in SQL – Transactions in SQL – Procedures, Functions, Packages and Triggers in PL/SQL Data modelling • How to model data from the meaning of the stored data. • Derive a data model from system data entries and outputs. • Use Data Normalisation to improve your model. Models you will see • Sample schema – Builders’ providers – I will use this to demonstrate techniques – Football competition coordination – We will build this through simple exercises • YOUR GROUP schema – YOU and two others from your class will design and build this.
