Learning objectives:
Mastering fundamentals of relational database theory and skill in using database technology at a level required for database design, development of database applications and database administration.
Description:
Fundamentals of database systems (DBS). Relational database design from a conceptual model. SQL language. Fundamentals of the relational model. Normalization-based design of a relational database. Organization of data at an internal level. Data security and integrity. Introduction to query optimization. Transaction processing - database recovery, concurrency control. Introduction to DBS architectures: client/server, multi-tier architectures, distributed DBS. Introduction to postrelational DBS. Access to databases from WWW. Project - development of a database application in modern development and database environment.
Learning outcomes and competences:
Students are able to develop conceptual models of an application domain for database applications and have knowledge of relational database management system fundamentals.
Syllabus of lectures:
  1. Fundamental concepts of database systems. Introduction to products used for projectsin a laboratory (Oracle and Centura at present).
  2. Conceptual modelling. Transformation of an ER diagram and a class diagram a relational database schema.
  3. SQL language, data definition. SELECT statement (fundamentals).
  4. SQL language: SELECT statement (extension), other statements for data manipulation. System catalogue.
  5. SQL language: embedded SQL, cursor, dynamic SQL. Query by example (QBE).
  6. The relational model: data structure, data integrity in the relational model, relational algebra, relational calculus.
  7. Schema normalization: introduction to dependency theory, normal forms.
  8. Data organization at the internal level, indexing, B+ tree, hashing.
  9. Data security and integrity. Using declarative integrity constraints, stored procedures and triggers. Query optimization.
  10. Transaction processing. Failure recovery.
  11. Concurrency control - serialization, locking, timestamping, isolation levels of transactions. Transaction processing in SQL.
  12. Client/server and multi-tier architectures. Introduction to distributed database systems: problems, data fragmentation and replication, distributed transaction processing.
  13. Current trends in database technology: postrelational database systems (mainly object-oriented and object-relational), access to databases from WWW.
Syllabus of computer exercises:
  1. Demonstration of a database application development in database and development environments of Oracle and Gupta products.
  2. Creating an Oracle and SQL Base database.
  3. Screen form development in Oracle Developer a SQL Windows.
  4. Screen form development in Oracle Developer a SQL Windows.
  5. Report development in Oracle Developer a SQL Windows
  6. Stored procedures and database triggers in Oracle and SQL Base.
Syllabus - others, projects and individual work of students:
  1. Presentation of a conceptual model (a class diagram and a use case diagram) from Software engineering modified with respect to the extent of realization.
  2. Realization of the database application in one of the two development and databaze environments.
