To: (limited to 400 characters or approximately 50 words) This course covers advanced topics in database analysis, design, access, integrity control, and implementation as well as a variety of emerging topics. The course is intended for students who already have a good understanding of database systems and relational database concepts.

Rationale for change: Students may begin the course with varying degrees of proficiency in using the SQL language and still be successful. The last sentence implies a level competency beyond what is required or expected for the course. It also ties the course requirements to a particular database language which could change in the future. The course uses a database language but is much more than just the language.
