This document outlines the syllabus for a Relational Database Management course. The course objectives are to provide a conceptual background for designing and developing simple database systems using the relational model. The syllabus covers basic database concepts, relational and entity-relationship models, database integrity, normalization, file organization, the SQL query language, transactions, concurrency control, database recovery, security, and distributed and client-server databases. Students will complete SQL queries in hands-on lab exercises.

Paper : (BCH 202) : RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT
Paper: BCH205 Max. Marks: 35T + 15P PPW: 6 (4T & 2P) Time: 3 Hrs. Objective: to acquire basic conceptual background necessary to design and develop simple database system, Relational database mode, ER model and distributed databases, and to write good queries using a standard query language called SQL. UNIT-I: BASIC CONCEPTS: Database Management System - File based system - Advantages of DBMS over file based system - Database Approach - Logical DBMS Architecture - Three level architecture of DBMS or logical DBMS architecture - Need for three level architecture - Physical DBMS Architecture - Database Administrator (DBA) Functions & Role - Data files indices and Data Dictionary - Types of Database. Relational and ER Models: Data Models - Relational Model – Domains - Tuple and Relation - Super keys - Candidate keys - Primary keys and foreign key for the Relations - Relational Constraints - Domain Constraint - Key Constraint - Integrity Constraint - Update Operations and Dealing with Constraint Violations - Relational Operations - Entity Relationship (ER) Model – Entities – Attributes – Relationships - More about Entities and Relationships - Defining Relationship for College Database - E-R Diagram - Conversion of E-R Diagram to Relational Database. UNIT-II: DATABASE INTEGRITY AND NORMALISATION: Relational Database Integrity - The Keys - Referential Integrity - Entity Integrity - Redundancy and Associated Problems – Single Valued Dependencies – Normalisation - Rules of Data Normalisation - The First Normal Form -The Second Normal Form - The Third Normal Form - Boyce Codd Normal Form - Attribute Preservation - Lossless- join Decomposition - Dependency Preservation. File Organisation : Physical Database Design Issues - Storage of Database on Hard Disks - File Organisation and Its Types - Heap files (Unordered files) - Sequential File Organisation - Indexed (Indexed Sequential) File Organisation - Hashed File Organisation - Types of Indexes - Index and Tree Structure - Multi-key File Organisation - Need for Multiple Access Paths - Multi-list File Organisation - Inverted File Organisation. UNIT-III: STRUCTURES QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL): Meaning – SQL commands - Data Definition Language - Data Manipulation Language - Data Control Language - Transaction Control Language - Queries using Order by – Where - Group by - Nested Queries. Joins – Views – Sequences - Indexes and Synonyms - Table Handling. UNIT-IV : TRANSACTIONS AND CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT: Transactions - Concurrent Transactions - Locking Protocol - Serialisable Schedules - Locks Two Phase Locking (2PL) - Deadlock and its Prevention - Optimistic Concurrency Control. Database Recovery and Security: Database Recovery meaning - Kinds of failures - Failure controlling methods - Database errors - Backup & Recovery Techniques - Security & Integrity - Database Security - Authorization. UNIT-V: DISTRIBUTED AND CLIENT SERVER DATABASES: Need for Distributed Database Systems - Structure of Distributed Database - Advantages and Disadvantages of DDBMS - Advantages of Data Distribution - Disadvantages of Data Distribution - Data Replication - Data Fragmentation. Client Server Databases: Emergence of Client Server Architecture - Need for Client Server Computing - Structure of Client Server Systems & its advantages. LAB: SQL QUERIES BASED ON VARIOUS COMMANDS.
