Dr. Christoph F. Eick
COSC 3480 Lecture Organization
I Basic Concepts of Database Management

Sham Navathe's database introduction (in Word)

Dr. Eick's "database introduction" transparencies databases and data models
(updated on January 14, 2003)
II Introduction to the Relational Data Model

Dr. Eick's Rel/SQL-transparencies (Postscript; to be used in lecture, if enough
time), Raghu's Introduction to SQL (Powerpoint).
III Introduction to Relational Algebra and SQL

Jeff Ullman's SQL Intro. Part1 and SQL Intro. Part II, SQL Constraints, Triggers,
and Assertions and PL/SQL Introduction (Postscript; useful for Project2)

Raghu's Relational Algebra Transparencies (will be partially be discussed in
class).
IV The Entity Relationship Data Model

Ullman's E/R-Model Introduction (Part1, Part2 in Postscript Format).

Designing E/R Diagrams (transparencies added on Jan. 16, 2002)

Mapping E/R Diagrams to the Relational Data Model
V Relational Database Design and Normalization

Functional Dependencies, BCNF, and Normalization (to be used in lecture)

Dr. Eick's Normalization Transparencies (to be used in lecture)

Jeff Ullman's Normalization Transparencies (only transparencies 1-6 are relevant;
the others discuss relational algebra; will not be used in lecture)
VI Introduction to KDD and Data Warehousing

Dr. Eick's Introduction to KDD transparencies.

OLAP/data warehouse transparencies to be used for COSC 6340; other more
detailed collections include: Hector Garcia-Molina's Data Warehouse and OLAP
transparencies, Raghu's OLAP/dataware house transparencies and Han/Kamber's
OLAP/data warehouse transparencies. An "easy down-to earth" example of
building a simple OLAP application. Moreover, Olapreport gives good discussion
about the commercial aspects of products and companies being involved in OLAP
market. Other parts discuss how Microsoft managed to enter the OLAP market
after not being involved with OLAP technology at all through 1998.


Han/Kamber's Concept Learning transparencies (to be discussed in class)
VII Disks, Files, Storage Structures, Index Structures and Physical
Database Design

Raghu's Discusssions conc. Secondary Storage (Powerpoint; not to be discussed
in class but relevant for the Feb. 19 review exam!)

Raghu's transparencies discussing file systems (not to be disussed in class).

Disk Sorting Algorithms

Raghu's/Dr. Eick's transparencies discussing B+-trees and Hashing Techniques
for Storage and Index Structures (to be used in lectures; cover material of chapters
9 and 10, but also contain a few "new" transparencies; a "new" transparency 26
was added on Feb. 5, 2002)

Raghu's Physical Database Design Transparencies
VIII Internet Databases and XML

Raghu's internet database transparencies (those transparencies discussing XML
and semi-structured data will be used in the lecture)

Jeff Ullman's Semi-structured database transparencies (transparencies 11 to 22
will be used in the lecture)

The followings are the links to information on how to use XML-DTD (might be
helpful for Homework2): DTD1, DTD2, and DTD3.

The following links refer to XML tutorials additional reading material): John
Punin's US XML-Tutorial (please review John Punin's slide show --- it gives you
a more "state of the art" discussion of XML and XML products)
XI Object-Oriented Databases

Jeff Ullman's ODL transparencies and OQL transparencies (Part1, Part2; Part1
likely to be used in lectures).

Dr. Eick's 3 OBJ-Transparencies
X Summary: Where Do We Stand?
Remark: It is highly unlikely that Object-oriented Databases will be covered in Fall 2003;
very likely there will be just enough time for a brief introduction to internet databases
