Course Description

The database structure, database design, data access and fundamental database server administration will be introduced in this course. The database system and data model is first introduced. The relational database model, entity relationship modeling, and normalization of the database tables which consist of the database design will be lectured. Implementation of the database design by using the SQL will be elaborately presented. If time is available, the data warehouse will be presented, too. The last topic of this course will be the practice of database administration. Quizzes will be held intermittently.
