Credits 3
Requirements: Prerequisite: ECE 3673 hours lecture
Introduction to database systems from an architectural and functional perspective. The course provides an overview of database systems architecture, computer representation of information, computer data storage, properties of persistent data, database structuring models (relational, object, object-relational, and entity-relationship), transaction processing models, concurrency control techniques, database transaction recovery, and security. These concepts will then be explored by examining and comparing the architecture and operations of database systems such as conventional, real-time, temporal, fault-tolerant, distributed, heterogeneous, secure and others.
