Standard Content
Course Outline
- Database Models
- Relational Algebra
- SQL - A reasonably comprehensive introduction to SQL. SQLite is a very good, easy to use, vehicle for this part of the course.
- Database design: logical design, physical design, security design.
- Database design: ER diagrams, normal forms, functional dependencies, transitive closure, etc.
- Transactions: query processing, ACID, logging, indexing, hashing, B+ trees, joins.
- SQL - More advanced features (PL/SQL functions, triggers, etc.)
- NOSQL: discuss a subset of the following (whatever’s hot)
- XML
- Mongodb
- Redis
- levelDB
- DataFrames - Python/pandas
- Cassandra
- many more possibilities
Learning Outcomes

Important Assignments and/or Exam Questions
- Relational algebra exercises (pencil and paper) with a variety of joins.
- Single table SQLite assignment for experience using SQLite features and basic queries.
- Multi-table SQLite assignment in the context of normal forms. An example: students at a university with tables for personal data (addresses), financial data (tuition payments), and performance data (credits, grades).
- Assignment to practice C or Python (or whatever) interface to SQLite.
- Postgres/Oracle assignment using multiple databases, tables, triggers, transactions, etc. Examples could include the student/university database with the addition of classes, grades, adding, dropping, room assignments, courses, scheduling, faculty schedules, etc.. A more standard example is a company with employees, customers, suppliers, departments, etc.
- (Mongodb, etc.) Pick smaller database problems and implement them using SQL, mongodb and redis (for example). Compare performance.
