Formelle forudsætninger:This course assumes basic ability to use a computer. We also assume that a student is taking an introductory programming course in parallel (otherwise basic programming skills in Java are expected) and following a discrete math course such as SGDM in parallel (or has knowledge of basic discrete math (logic, set theory and proofs)).

Information about the course of study
This course is mandatory for students who are enrolled on on the Master of Science in IT, study programme Software Development and Technology, Development Technology track. 
Læringsmål:After the course the student should be able to:

•Model structuring of data within the relational framework
•Model data domains using ER diagrams
•Create and implement database designs
•Analyze and improve database designs using normal form theory
•Use relational algebra to explain semantics of the query language
•Work with SQL to create, query, update, and perform basic level administration tasks on a relational database
•Analyze/predict/improve efficiency of the designed database using indices
•Use transactions to provide concurrent data access 
Fagligt indhold:Database systems are the foundation of many computer and web applications today. They guarantee the persistent and reliable storage and use of shared information.

This course presents database systems from three points of view: the database designer, the database user and applications programmer, and the database system implementer.

The database designer is concerned with the modeling and structure of data. Modeling techniques to be covered include the entity-relationship model, the relational model, the relational calculus, integrity constraints, functional dependencies, and normal forms.

The database user and applications programmer need to know how the data model is represented in modern database systems, and how to store and retrieve data from such systems. The course will cover the SQL query language for relational database systems and (if time permits) the interface between a typical database system and application languages such as Java or Ruby.

The database system implementer is concerned with efficient and reliable storage and retrieval of data in a concurrent, distributed environment. The course will give an insight into database implementation, including indexing, transactions, concurrency control, recovery systems, and security.

•concepts of database management systems
