CSCI 5250 - Database Design

(3 credits)

Prerequisites: An undergraduate database management course, or consent of the instructor. Database design serves as a unifying mechanism for the seemingly diverse fields of data semantics, database management software, and physical design. Different methods for expressing designs at appropriate levels of abstraction are covered. Evaluation criteria for design assessment are introduced and design methods are evaluated according to these criteria. This course attempts to integrate theoretical and practical aspects of database design. (spring, alternate years)
