This is a Related Course of the MOT program.

This course is concerned with the use of Database Management Systems (DBMS) to solve a wide range of information storage, management, and retrieval problems, in organizations ranging from large corporations to personal applications, such as research data management. The course combines the practical aspects of DBMS use with more theoretical discussions of database design methodologies and the "internals" of database systems.

A significant part of the course will require students to design their own database and implement it on different DBMS that run on different computer systems. We will use both ACCESS and ORACLE.

In the theoretical portion of the course, we will examine the major types or data models of DBMS (hierarchical, network, relational, and object-oriented). We will discuss the principles and problems of database design, operation, and maintenance for each data model. We will also examine implementation options for database-driven Web applications, and students will have the option of implementing their database project as a Web application.
