Annotation -
Students are introduced to the database engine architecture and typical user roles. They are briefly introduced to various database models. They learn to design small databases (including integrity constraints) using a conceptual model and implement them in a relational database engine. They get a hands-on experience with the SQL language, as well as with its theoretical foundation - the relational database model. They learn the principles of normalizing a relational database schema. They understand the fundamental concepts of transaction processing, controlling parallel user access to a single data source, as well as recovering a database engine from a failure. They are briefly introduced to special ways of storing data in relational databases with respect to speed of access to large quantities of data. This introductory-level course does not cover: Administration of database systems, debugging and optimizing database applications, distributed database systems, data stores.

Learning outcomes -

Students will be able to:

design and implement small databases and work with them effectively using the SQL language in a wide range of situations.

understand theoretical foundations for subsequent courses, such as Database systems administration or specialized database-oriented courses (SQL, Database systems 2) in the second cycle degree programme.
