POM622J1 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION _ DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
CREDITS: THEORY: 3; TUTORIAL: 1
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles, and techniques
related to the management of databases. The course covers various aspects of database design, implementation, and administration,
emphasizing both theoretical concepts and practical applications.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. The course aims to provide students with a solid understanding of fundamental concepts related to database management systems,
including data models, relational databases, normalization, and data independence.
2. Students will learn the principles and techniques of database design, including entity-relationship modelling, schema design, and
normalization. They will be able to create efficient and well-structured database schemas.
3. Students will explore various optimization techniques to enhance the performance of database operations. They will learn about
indexing, query optimization, and performance tuning to improve the efficiency of data retrieval and manipulation.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the Database Management System course, students should be able to:
1. Demonstrate a solid understanding of fundamental concepts related to database management systems, including data models,
relational databases, normalization, and data independence.
2. Apply principles and techniques of database design to create well-structured and efficient database schemas. Develop the ability to
translate real-world scenarios into appropriate database designs.
3. Apply optimization techniques such as indexing, query optimization, and performance tuning to enhance the efficiency and speed of
database operations. Analyze and improve query execution plans.
