Designing Relational Databases ( 3 units )
Show Details
If you need to learn more about the design of relational database systems, this course is for you. You'll explore how the relational database approach is used in both open and closed systems and on both mainframe and client/server platforms, and learn about the design of systems of all sizes including standalone, workgroup, departmental, and enterprise-wide applications. You'll also learn how to incorporate data from legacy systems as well as how to develop entirely new systems. You'll have the opportunity to design a rational database model in class and refine it for a real-world system or case study. Topics include an overview of database systems, defining business entities, entity relationship modeling (ERM) for top-down analysis, defining relational database tables and attributes, conversion of logical design to physical design, normalization of tables, and using structured query language (SQL) to process data and generate reports.

Data Modeling ( 2.5 units )
Show Details
In this course you will learn how to develop data models which are used to publish the information that organizations rely on for their day-to-day decision making processes. Basic data modeling techniques will be explored including capturing data requirements, analyzing data elements, identifying entities and attributes, and determining relationships between entities. Data models will be developed using the entity/relationship graphical model. Once a basic data model has been developed, students will be instructed on how to enhance the data model to manage and enhance the value of the data it contains. This will directly affect the quality of the information produced from the data, and provide an organization with the knowledge necessary to optimally perform its business functions. The emphasis of this course is on analysis and design rather than on the actual implementation of a database.
