Course Objectives:
At the completion of the course, students will be able to:
 Understand the concepts and terminology associated with relational databases.
 Run SQL commands in Oracle.
 Create, alter, rename, drop and describe tables.
 Identify and use data types to define columns in SQL tables.
 Explain and use different types of integrity constraints and how to create relationships
between tables.
 How to update data in tables.
 Use different commands for retrieving data with different shapes by using select statement.
 How to use single-table and multiple-table queries.
Course Description:
This Course uses a Structured Query Language or (SQL), which is a popular computer language that is
used by diverse groups such as home computer owners, owners of small businesses, end users in large
organizations and programmers. This course will begin with many concepts about relational databases,
after that it will disscus the Data Definition Language (DDL commands), Data Manipulation Language
(DML commands), and Data Control Language (DCL commands ), then the integrity constraints which
are used with relations and how to retrieve data by using single and multiple-table queries.
Intended Learning Outcomes :
Successful completion of this course should lead to the following learning outcomes :
A- Knowledge and Understanding:
A1) List the basic concepts and terminology associated with relational databases.
A2) List the concept of table, columns and rows in database.
A3) List the role of Structured Query Language.
B- Intellectual Skills:
B1) Select a problem for solving and constructing it with using some concepts.
B2) Show the important of oracle concept and what are the benefits by using it.
B3) Analyze and construct a case study for each group of students to implement the database.
B4) Analyze and compare different techniques for retrieving data from the database.
C) Subject Specific Skills:
C1) Implement solutions for a database on paper before they begin working in SQL.
C2) Implement solutions of any wrong relationship between tables in database.
C3) Learn a specific and new operating system environment, with new language editor.
C4) Learn how to install and manage SQL tool from Oracle.
D) Transferable Skills:
D1) Discuss and work in a group in order to design and implement solutions of several database systems.
D2) Discuss and work in a group in order to study and present a case study of any database system.
