Course Description Introduction This is a required unit for the 2nd year students in the Information Technology stream. The objective of this unit is to provide an understanding of both the theory and practice of relational database systems. This course is a continuation of Database Management Systems I. In this unit, the students will learn: (i.) Database Design Process (ii.) Develop applications following the Database Design Process using a commercial Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) (iii.) Relational Database Theory and components of a typical RDBMS: - Storage and Indexing - Buffer Management - Query Optimization - Transactions - Concurrency Control - Crash Recovery (iv.) The practical sessions consist of developing applications using a commercial Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), following the database design process. The syllabus This unit covers topics in Database Design Process, Enhanced ER Model, EER-Relational Mapping, Normalization, Advanced SQL features Triggers, Stored Procedures; Indexes (B+ Trees & Hashing), Query Optimization Techniques, Transactions, Concurrency Control and Crash Recovery. Unit Learning Outcomes On completion of the unit, the student will know the concepts underlying contemporary relational database systems and be able to design and implement relational databases to support applications.

 Curriculum and Academic Quality Committee Assessment Criteria During the semester, there will be one mid-term and a final exam. Also, practical sessions will be held every week. Students are required to complete the practical assignments and submit the assignments by the due date. An online exam will be conducted to evaluate practical assignments. The mid-term test will be based on the practical work and the lecture material covered until the week before it is held. The final examination will be a comprehensive exam based on the practical assignments and lecture materials covered. The distribution of marks for the assessed components of the unit are as follows: Midterm 20% Practicals 20% Final 60% Total 100% To pass this unit, students are required to get a total of at least 45% from all assessed work.

Generic Information Plagiarism: Academic honesty is crucial to a students credibility and self-esteem, and ultimately reflects the values and morals of the Institute as whole. A student may work together with one or a group of students discussing assignment content, identifying relevant references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Plagiarism occurs when the work of another person, or persons, is used and presented as ones own. Any student found guilty of plagiarism will result in a zero mark for the assessed work and may even result in failure of the unit.
