Textbook: Fundamentals of Database Systems, Seventh edition, by Elmasri and Navathe | |
This is the graduate course in Database Design. Although material such as SQL will be covered, there will be an emphasis on the internals of database management systems as well as theory, such as the entity-relationship model, normal forms and relational algebra. You will write quite a bit of code for this course. Projects will include writing a program to index a file by creating your own B+ tree. For a computer scientist it is not enough to understand how to use a database manager you must understand how to write one, as well. |
