Learning outcomes
Database systems are an important component of information systems in every organization. The users need the so-called right data for their work and the data is managed using database systems. To have data indeed correct it is necessary to design a correct database model using the data modeling approaches and data modeling tools. The aim of the course is to gain basic theoretical knowledge about database systems with the emphasis on relational systems as well as with structural and object oriented approaches to data modeling.
Database systems are an important component of information systems in every organization. The users need the so-called right data for their work and the data is managed using database systems. To have data indeed correct it is necessary to design a correct database model using the data modeling approaches and data modeling tools. Students will be able to solve problems of data modelling in terms of the structural and object-oriented approaches. Furthermore, they will learn how to apply a designed model within the relational database, and master basic principles of transaction systems with operational data.
