CMPU 311 - Database Systems


1 unit(s)
A database is a collection of data that is managed by a database management system, or DBMS. DBMSs emerged in the 1960s with the development of mainframe computers. DBMSs could be considered one of the first killer apps! Many database models have been proposed and implemented since then, but in 1970 a model was introduced that endures today: the relational model. One of the strengths of the relational model was that it provided a structured query language (SQL) for creating, modifying, and querying databases. This Intensive focuses on relational database design, normal forms and normalization techniques, entity-relationship diagrams, and querying databases using SQL. Students work individually or in pairs on database projects throughout the semester.  Marc Smith.
