Database System Implementation

This course focuses on the design, development, and implementation of database systems. The course covers advanced database concepts, including database architecture, indexing, query optimization, transactions, concurrency control, and database security. Students will learn how to implement efficient and scalable database systems, manage data integrity, and ensure the performance and security of database applications. Emphasis is placed on hands-on experience with relational database management systems (RDBMS) and Structured Query Language (SQL), as well as an introduction to NoSQL databases and emerging database technologies.

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Understanding Database Architecture and Design: Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of database architecture, including the internal components of a database management system, data storage, indexing, and performance optimization techniques.
• Implementing and Managing Databases with SQL: Learn how to create, query, and manage relational databases using SQL, focusing on advanced SQL techniques for data manipulation, indexing, and query optimization to ensure efficient database performance.
• Ensuring Data Integrity and Concurrency Control: Gain proficiency in managing transactions, enforcing data integrity, and implementing concurrency control mechanisms to ensure that multiple users can access and modify the database simultaneously without compromising data accuracy.
• Exploring Database Security and Emerging Technologies: Develop skills in securing databases against unauthorized access and threats by implementing authentication, encryption, and other security measures, while gaining an introduction to NoSQL databases and trends in modern database technologies.

These outcomes aim to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to implement and manage robust, secure, and high-performance database systems. The course prepares students for roles in database administration, data management, and system development, equipping them with the technical expertise to handle complex database applications in various industries.
