Course Description
Objective of this course is to cover the theoretical and applied aspects of database management systems. It explains concept, modeling and implementation details of relational database management system. SQL, the standard language for interacting with databases, is covered in detail with the discussion of underlying theory of relational algebra. Advanced concepts of databases i.e. transaction management, Concurrency Control, Indexing, Security and Optimization are also introduced in this course.
