The theoretic part covers the following topics: DBMS functionalities, overview of the most common data models, the relational approach and database design.
For the relational model we study the normalization theory, relational algebra and the Structured Query Language (SQL2) for data definition and manipulation.
Concerning database design we will work out the entity-relationship model and introduce rules to translate an E/R schema into a relational one.
The pragmatic part of the course aims at familiarizing students with the use of the Standard Query Language (SQL). We will the Oracle DBMS fro the practical work.
