Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to deepen theoretical and practical knowledge about database systems. The course Database systems II (in summer term) is the follow-up course to the Database systems I (held in winter term). They are expected basic database knowledge (basic principles of data modelling, basic principles of the relational data model).
Students will be able to solve problems of data modelling in terms of the structural and object-oriented approaches. Furthermore, they will understand designing of normalize relations for relational data models. Students will also learn how to apply a designed model within the relational database, and master basic principles of transaction systems with operational data.
Prerequisites
The course Database systems II (in summer term) is the follow-up course to the Database systems I (held in winter term). They are expected basic database knowledge (basic principles of data modelling, basic principles of the relational data model).
