Course Description
This course is an introduction to database management systems (DBMS). It covers both theoretical and practical aspects of DBMS, such as database design, use, and implementation. An essential part of the course is the final programming project through which students design and develop a practical database system for library access, electronic commerce, information retrieval, or a similar application. The final project involves the use of the database language SQL and (optionally) a language used in Web applications, such as WebL, Java, or Perl.
