The most important goal of this course is to introduce students to
the concepts of good Database Design. In addition, Database management systems
(DBMS) are a focus of study, and database administration and management are
also discussed. Techniques for conceptual, logical, and physical database
design are surveyed, with emphasis on relational databases. Topics also include
history of database management systems, ER modeling, normalization, SQL, stored
procedures and triggers, data integrity, performance, concurrency, transaction
processing, data warehouse, and security. The main focus in this course will be
on practical applications. Students will be using MS-SQL Server 2000 as the
DBMS for labs and group project, and Java as the programming language.
The prerequisites are CS 303e and CS 313e, each with a grade of C
or better. Prerequisites must be completed before enrolling in this
course. This course may not be counted toward a degree in computer science.

Spring 2003: Course information and
announcements will be available here. This site will be updated during the
semester, and various items will be posted over time.
You are responsible for reading and
referring to these policies when you have questions during the semester. You
need to write down any changes or additions made in class announcements, to
keep yourself up-to-date.
Course grades will be determined as
a weighted average, based on the following:
20% Tests (2)
30% Group Project (1)
42% Labs/Assignments (6)
8% Pop Quiz (1)
There will be no Final Exam for
this course.
Note: For the purposes of
discussion, I will loosely refer to Tests, Project, Assignments/Labs, and pop
quizzes as “Exams”.
The weightage, and the number of
tests/assignments/pop quizzes may change during the course.
The course grade will be determined
after the project submission, based on overall course performance and assigned
as follows:
>=90 A
>=80 and < 90 B
>=70 and < 80 C
>=60 and < 70 D
< 60 F (not passing)
The instructor
reserves the right to alter the grading scale to the benefit of the students.
