Description:
The practical course database systems let students learn how to deploy database systems in practice, as a supplement to the different lectures on database technology. The participants will work in selected projects with commercial (object-)relational and XML database technology. Furthermore, database design will be practiced with real-world examples.
Content:
The following projects are planned for the course:
- Accessing databases, in particular from user programs,
- data management with non-conventional database technology,
- database design.
Working in teams is another important aspect of all projects.
Objective:
In the practical course, the knowledge from the lecture "Database Systems" and "Deployment of Database Systems" is reinforced on a practical level. The focus is on database-application programming, the usage of interactive query languages and database design. Furthermore, the students should learn to work in teams in order to work on various projects successfully.
