Specific Goals to the Course: What students should know as a result of having taken the course oStudents will be able to define database terms, as identified in the text and from instructor-supplied handout s. oStudents will be able to describe the process (normalization) for designing databases/tables. oStudents will be able to demonstrate how to develop relations between tables. oStudents will be able to demonstrate how to create and run queries, forms, and reports through lab assignme nts. oStudents will be able to identify the properties of a relational database. oStudents will be able to identify the properties of an Oracle database/table. oStudents will be able to create and modify database tables using SQL*Plus. oStudents will demonstrate how to view, insert, update and delete data records using the Oracle data block fo rm. oStudents will demonstrate how to design and create a custom Oracle form. oStudents will identify and/or demonstrate how to design and create custom Oracle reports. What students will be able to do after having taken the course. oDifferentiate and use key terms such as: information, data, database, database management system, metad ata, and data mining. o Explain the role of data, information, and databases in organizations. o Explain how data storage and retrieval has changed over time. o Explain the advantages of a database approach compared to traditional file processing. o Identify and explain the general types of databases: personal, workgroup, department, and enterprise. o Define data quality, accuracy and timeliness, and explain how their absence will impact organizations. ITS 26000 - Applied Database Techniques</p><p> o Describe mechanisms for data collection and their implications (automated data collection, input forms, sources). o Explain basic issues of data retention, including the need for retention, physical storage, security. o Explain why data backup is important and how organizations use backup and recovery systems. o Formulate and test SQL queries using SELECT FROM WHERE ORDER BY blocks. o Recognize the need for logical operators, set operators, UNION, DISTINCT, LIKE, and BETWEEN operators, and use them appropriately. o Formulate and test queries using aggregate functions with GROUP BY HAVING clause. o Formulate and test queries using use sub-queries, VIEWS and joins in combinations with the options listed above. o Format output (header, footer, totals, subtotals etc.) reports using SQL options and post-processing features of environments like SQL*Plus. o Declare appropriate data types, sizes and constraints on elements and their combinations including DATE and TIME types, create TABLE/VIEW with SELECT AS, and use INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE options. o Formulate and test queries using query by example o Use embedded SQL queries. Specific outcomes of instruction (e.g. the student will be able to explain the significance of current researc h about a particular topic) - Demonstrate select, project, union, intersection, set difference, and natural jo in relational operations using simple example relations provided.-(ABET criteria a,b,i,j,l) Course Delivery Methods (check all that apply): x Lecture x Laboratory x Online x Discussion groups x Projects □ Other (explain) </p><p>Factors Used to Determine the Course Grade (check all that apply): x Quizzes x Exams x Homework x Papers x Lab Reports x Class participation □ How final grade is determined - By including all of the above assessment tools.</p><p>Brief List of Topics to be Covered: Database terms, normalization, relations between tables, queries, forms, and reports, Oracle data block form, S QL and SQL Plus.
