| Total workload | Contact hours | Credits (ECTS) |
|---|---|---|
| 180 h | 75 h | 6 CP |
Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
SQL, data integrity, theory of relational database design, physical data organisation (storage structures, index structures), query processing, transaction management, main features of error handling (recovery, backup) and multi-user synchronisation, security aspects (authorization), XML data modeling (optional); in the tutorial the content is practiced along concrete examples
Learning Outcome
Students are able to apply the essential concepts of relational database systems and can use and evaluate them systematically and in a qualified manner.
The students have the expertise to systematically use a database system starting from the conceptual design to the implementation design to the physical design. They are able to formulate even complex queries in SQL and have a basic understanding of logical and physical optimization based on relational algebra. Furthermore they know how to safe-guard a database application with respect to recovery, concurrency control and authorization.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The academic assessment will be done by a 90 minutes written exam. Assignments checking knowledge verify the familiarity with the main concepts of relational database systems. Transfer assignments and small scenarios check the ability to apply and evaluate these concepts systematically and in a qualified manner.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
