4. Structure of the Course:  1 Lecture (1.5 hours/week)  1 Tutorial / Seminar sessions (1 hour/week)  1 Computer lab (1.5 hours/week)  Individual practical work using case study and hands on exercise  Self Study

5. Module Leaders: London Metropolitan University Dr. Fang Fang Cai Islington College, Nepal Mr. Manish Kansakar

6. Module Aim:  Module aims to build upon students’ general understanding of database systems acquired in the prerequisite module.  Module enable students to gain in-depth understanding of various issues pertinent to the development and management of a modern database system.  Module also introduces current database research topics thereby raising students’ clear awareness and understanding of latest development and future trend in database subject area.

7. Module Aim (cont.…):  A substantial practical element is integrated into the module to enable students to design relatively complex database systems using CASE tools (using Oracle designer as an example toolset).

8. Learning Outcome:  Demonstrate a clear understanding of the various key issues which affect database systems and their performance.  Demonstrate an enhanced awareness of some current developments in the database area.  Design and develop a relatively complex database for a given business scenario, with a professional approach to the documentation of the system.

9. Assessment:  To enable the students to demonstrate their achievement on the stated learning outcomes. Specifically:  Students' knowledge and understanding of the theoretical aspects of database management systems together with an enhanced awareness of current development in subject area are assessed by an unseen examination.  Students’ practical proficiency and problem-solving skills on design of database systems are assessed by an individual coursework.

10. Assessment:  To enable the students to demonstrate their achievement on the stated learning outcomes. Specifically:  Coursework:  Design and Implementation-40%  Examination:  2 hour unseen exam-60% * To achieve an overall pass of module, students are required to gain an aggregated pass of examination and coursework.

11. What is expected from you?  Each week's lecture dealing with different topics, so attendance is important.  Attend all Lectures and Tutorial / Seminar sessions / Computer labs  Come in tutorial classes well prepared for class works.  Clear your doubts during tutorials.

12. What is expected from you?  Workshop to learn/use Oracle, gaining a potentially useful skill/knowledge.  Individual practical work using case study and hands on exercise  Download Module Specification, Lecture slides & other materials from FSERVER and LMU Server  Subjects/topics are wide-ranging, so additional wide reading and independent learning & Self Study Self Study is important & highly recommended.

13. Topics:  Module Introduction; Database architecture  Query Optimization  Database Recovery  Database concurrency  Database Security  Distributed Databases and Data Mining  Relational Integrity, Relational Algebra vs SQL  Consolidation The weekly sequence of topics are subject to change.
