Database Management System
CEN 351
Course Description
• A database management system (DBMS) is a computer
application program
• designed for the efficient and effective storage, access
and update of large volumes of information. This
course will look at such systems from two perspectives:
• • A user-centered perspective focusing on how a DBMS
is used to support a data intensive application. This
perspective includes a look at the common data
models, query languages and design techniques.
• • A system implementation perspective focusing on the
policies, algorithms and data structures used to design
and implement a DBMS.
Course Objectives
• Develop an appreciation of the role of data and
databases in information systems.
• Understand the database development activities
during the System Development Cycle (SDLC)
• Be familiar with the data modelling concepts (E-R and
Class diagrams) used in database design.
• Be able to create databases and pose complex SQL
queries of relational databases.
• Develop appreciation of several DBMS’s (MS SQL
Server)
• Be familiar with a broad range of data management
issues including data integrity and security.
Course Outcomes
• An understanding of the basic concepts and theoretical
knowledge of relational database systems.
• A comprehensive skill of data modelling using the entityrelationship modelling technique as well as converting data
models into correctly normalized relational database
designs.
• Having ability of retrieving useful data from an database by
using complicated queries in the standard SQL database
query language.
• Competence in the issues involved in physical database
design as well as database security and performance.
• An understanding and administering of most common
DBMSs
