All course material will be made available via Moodle.

You know when to use database systems and what are their benefits.

You are capable of eliciting requirements for database systems using entity relationship models and constraints in the form of the min,max notation and can transform the models into the relational model.

You dispose of extended knowledge about the relational model including relational design theory, the decomposition of relations and the use of normal forms for optimizations.

You are capable of using the language Structured Query Language (SQL) for data definition and data manipulation including constraints.

You are capable of using methods and techniques for multi-user environments including transaction management.

Lectures and Exercises will be given in English. The course will comprise lectures and exercise units.
