CPSC 091R. Special Topics: Application Databases

This course focuses on the design and implementation of relational database management systems. Emphasizing hands-on application, the course challenges students to apply concepts learned in class throughout the development of a web-based application of their choice. Students will design and implement a database that supports their application’s requirements, use SQL to interact with and manage data, and explore techniques for improving data integrity, query performance, and overall system efficiency.

Topics include: SQL, entity-relationship (ER) modeling, relational algebra, data indexing, query evaluation and optimization, and transaction processing.
