| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the fundamentals of database technology. | |||||
| Course Description | The main objective of this course is to present the fundamentals of database technology. The course is mainly designed to teach the use of a database management system (DBMS) by treating it as a black box and by focusing only on its functionality and its interfaces. Within this context, the course will deal with data modeling and design of a database. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to some fundamental aspects of Database Management. The following topics are covered: Database concepts, Relational model, Application development, Database design, normalization, entity-relationship models. | |||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Dersin amacı öğrencilerin bir bilgi sisteminin temelini oluşturan veri tabanının mantıksal ve fiziksel olarak nasıl modellendiğini, nasıl yönetildiğini, ve özellikle verinin bilgiye dönüştürülmesi safhalarında yapacakları müdahaleleri öğrenmeleridir. Öğrencilerin bu veri tabanı yönetim sistemini kullanarak veri tabanı yönetimi konusunda da uzmanlaşması beklenmektedir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) Describe the fundamental elements of relational database management systems 2) Explain the basic concepts of relational data model, entity-relationship model, relational database design, relational algebra and SQL. 3) Design ER-models to represent simple database application scenarios 4) Convert the ER-model to relational tables, populate relational database and formulate SQL queries on data. 5) As a member of a team, design a new DBMS. 6) Present the DBMS project in front of an audience. |
