DATABASES (CS – 341) Quarter: Instructor: Email: Office: Description Goals Text References Grading Winter 2004-05 Tauqeer Hussain [email protected] 418 (Ext. 4418) This course introduces the basic concepts of databases and discusses their practical applications and design issues. Starting from the conceptual modeling stage, through its logical design, the relational model is discussed in detail due to its wide spread base during the last two decades. Relational operations and Structured Query Language are also practiced. An integral part of the course is the normalization theory which discusses a very important design issue of eliminating data redundancy from a database schema. To provide students a good understanding of the principles of database design and modeling techniques especially for creation of relational databases, To have a fairly good practice in conceptual modeling using entityrelationship diagrams, To learn how queries in SQL can be written correctly and efficiently, Applying the concepts learned in the course to develop a real world application.
