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).
