and describe each in both function and benefit.[PO 1,2]
2. Define the terminology, features, classifications, and characteristics embodied in database systems. .[PO
1,3,8]
3. Analyze an information storage problem and derive an information model expressed in the form of an
entity relation diagram and other optional analysis forms, such as a data dictionary. .[PO 1,2,3,4]
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the relational data model. .[PO 1,3,]
5. Transform an information model into a relational database schema and to use a data definition language
and/or utilities to implement the schema using a DBMS. .[PO 1,2,3,4,8]
6. Formulate, using relational algebra, solutions to a broad range of query problems. .[PO 1,2,3,5]
7. Formulate, using SQL, solutions to a broad range of query and data update problems. .[PO 1,2,3,5]
8. Demonstrate an understanding of normalization theory and apply such knowledge to the normalization of a
database. .[PO 1,2,3,4]
