10. Course Introduction
This is an introductory course on database systems, primarily focusing on how database systems
are designed and implemented in organisations. The course will cover relational databases and
SQL/PLSQL (Structured Query Language). It will cover different ways of designing databases
and includes important topics such as; indexes, views, transactions, authorization, integrity, and
transaction properties.
11. Learning Objectives
To develop understanding of all the concepts of database modeling & development;
To construct and model real world database systems using Oracle/MS SQL Server and Structured
Query Language.

The course mainly aims to achieve the following objectives:


A. Describes databases, their typical users.
B. Describes DBMS concepts, terminology, and architecture.
C. Describes the concepts of the Entity-Relationship (ER) model.
D. Discuss ER diagrams to illustrate conceptual database design.
E. Focus on data abstraction and data modeling concepts, and extends the ER
model to incorporate these ideas, leading to the enhanced-ER data model and
EER diagrams.
F. Describes the basic concepts necessary for a good understanding of databases
design and implementation.
G. Learning SQL (Structured Query Language)
H. Describe the conceptual modeling techniques used in database systems.
I. Describes the relational data model, its integrity constraints and update
operations, and the operations of the relational algebra.
