Learning outcomes |
This course introduces the theme of design, analysis and construction of the relational databases. Therefore, its main objective is to prepare students to understand and design database systems.
The course focuses on the relational model, namely, the conceptual model and database querying.
Upon completion of the teaching-learning process, the student should be able to:
- Given a real or hypothetical case, develop a suitable data model (Entity-Relationship Diagram and relational schema);
- Normalize and "de-normalize" relations;
- Produce the physical database model;
- Query the database (using SQL);
- Explore databases (employing forms and reports);
- Use data modulation in the context of geographical data systems (Geodatabases).

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The course is structured in order to expose the syllabus (through slides and oral exposure), encouraging the student interaction in order to allow the exploitation of concrete scenarios of databases uses (Postgres). These PL (practical and laboratorial) classes are also planned the execution of the practical works.
The practical works are developed in the group (2 students, preferably).
The evaluation consists of two components:
- One test (10 points);
- One practical works (10 points)
