Behörighet

För kurser på grundnivå inom Chalmers utbildningsprogram gäller samma behörighetskrav som till de(t) program där kursen ingår i programplanen.

Kursspecifika förkunskaper

To be eligible for the course the student should have successfully completed university level courses of at least 45 credits, including:
  • at least 15 credits in programming, e.g., TDA548, TDA552, TDA367, or equivalent,
  • at least 7.5 credits in mathematics or mathematic reasoning,
  • concepts in logic, sets, functions and relations that could be acquired with, e.g., TMV200

Syfte

Databases are a ubiquitous feature of the information technology society, and most people have come in contact with them, either directly while using the world wide web, or indirectly through banks, the tax office, etc. A course on database systems is therefore essential to a well-rounded education in computer science.

Lärandemål (efter fullgjord kurs ska studenten kunna)

On successful completion of the course the student will be able to:
Knowledge and understanding

  • explain the semantic meaning of queries using relational algebra
  • describe the effects of transactions and indexes in a relational database
Competence and skills
  • construct an Entity-Relationship diagram for a given domain
  • translate an Entity-Relationship diagram into a relational database schema
  • apply design theory concepts for relational databases such as functional dependencies and normalization
  • retrieve and modify data using a database language for respective task
  • design a database interface using constraints, views, triggers and privileges
  • implement a relational database schema and related interface using a data definition language
  • communicate with a database, through a database interface, from a software application
Judgement and approach
  • evaluate and create different models for a database domain using EntityRelationship diagrams and relational schemas
  • contrast different data models, such as the relational and the semi-structured data models

Innehåll

The course covers the basic principles of database systems as seen by users, application programmers and database administrators. A laboratory assignment develops these topics as a running example throughout the course. These include programming in SQL, as seen by a user querying or modifying an existing database, by a database designer, and by an application programmer invoking SQL from a host language.

Course contents include:

  • entity-relationship modeling
  • functional dependencies and normalisation
  • database querying and manipulation through SQL
  • interfacing to a database from a host language (such as Java/JDBC)
  • overview of XML and other non-SQL models

Organisation

The course consists of weekly lectures and exercise sessions, as well as supervised lab sessions. 

Litteratur

Course literature to be announced the latest 8 weeks prior to the start of the course.

Examination inklusive obligatoriska moment

Written individual exam given in an examination hall and programming assignments. The programming assignments are normally carried out in pairs.
