Annotation -
The course is aimed at getting acquainted with the general principles of both creating relational databases and data modelling, including design of data warehouses. The specific database environment consists of query language Transact-SQL and other tools of SYBASE database engine. The course includes the study of methods for creating of data models in using PowerDesigner design system and futher generating physical and conceptual data model from an existing database and its enlargement. Attention is paid to the sharing of data models for teamwork too.
