Course Code : MIT620

Course Title : Advanced Organization of Database

Course Credit : 3 units

Course Description :

This course is an introduction (a review to those who are already familiar with
databases) to the design, use, and implementation of databases in organizations, and
to the functions and use of database management systems (DBMS). It covers
background concepts in database processing including data models and physical
representation of databases; the conceptual and logical design of databases; and
database definition, control, and manipulation using SQL. We will use MS SQL for SQL
and we will discuss examples in Access, but the course is not a training program in the
use of commercial database software.

Course Objectives :

This course will help the students to acquire the theoretical foundation of Database
Management Systems. It includes concepts relating to various advanced database
models, and concepts like database mining and warehousing. This course also
describes in major details about the advanced concepts of relation database
management systems. The course also provides sample database management system
architecture. Thus, this is an advanced course, which will further develop the knowledge
and skill acquired by the students at the basic level.
