Module Aim Allows students to understand, and put into practice, the techniques available for analysing, designing and developing database systems. To give an introduction to the issues governing the design and implementation of database systems. To provide an introduction to both the theoretical aspects of designing sound database systems as well as the practical aspects of implementing such systems.

Learning Outcomes Produce an Entity-Relationship model from a realistic problem specification Use formal design techniques (e.g. normalisation) to produce a database schema Design and implement a database system from a conceptual data model Manipulate and extract data residing in a database using relational algebra and SQL Discuss the relative merits of the relational environment

Assessment The assessment will consist of two components An Unseen examination (50 %) A Coursework (50 %) Students will to be assessed on their ability to absorb and apply theoretical material such as design notation and modelling.

Assessment Students will also to be assessed on their ability to demonstrate practical proficiency of a popular DBMS environment. The learning outcomes encompass both theoretical and practical aspects and the assessment strategy needs to reflect both these elements.
