MS 483 - Database Management Systems

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
An introduction to the elements of database management systems (DBMS) is presented in this course. Several database models are covered (Hierarchical, Network and Relational), with the Relational database model emphasized as the most important of the three. Entity relationship diagrams are used to illustrate the concepts of database design, schemas and normalization. Relational algebra is used as a basis for the understanding of Structured Query Language (SQL). The use of relational databases as persistence layers for object-oriented languages is described through the presentation of database drivers and object-relational mapping mechanisms. (prereq: MS 2810  or MS 382 )
