Textbook: Database System Concepts, Seventh Edition.
The textbook is required
Course description: Database management has evolved from a specialized computer application to a central component of virtually all enterprises, and, as a result, knowledge about database systems has become an essential part of an education in computer science. In this course, we present the fundamental concepts of database management. These concepts include aspects of database design, database languages, and database-system implementation.
The material is intended for a first course in databases at the junior or senior undergraduate, or first-year graduate, level. In addition to basic material for a first course, the course covers advanced material that can be used for course supplements, or as introductory material for an advanced course.
Syllabus: An introduction to database systems. Data modeling. The relational model and the SQL query language. Relational database design, integrity constraints, functional dependencies, and normal forms. Implementation of databases: file structures, indexing, query processing, transactions, concurrency control, recovery systems, and security.
Assignments: Five homework assignments and five SQL-based programming assignments. The homework's and Labs will not be graded. Rather, we will provide answer sheets that will help the students to figure out if their answers were correct. Additionally, the student can meet with the TAs if they need further assistance with the vrious assignments. There will be some reading assignments from the textbooks. The reading material will be used in some of the homworks but will not be used in the tests.
Grades: There will be 3 exams.
