    Course Title: Database Systems


    Course No: BAIS3061
    Credit hours: 3
    Instructor: Kuribachew Gizaw (PhD)

    Course Description
    This course introduces the basic concepts and elements of database systems. It will
    cover the fundamentals of database modeling, design and implementation. There are
    various approaches to designing databases. These approaches are continually evolving.
    You will learn Entity Relationship models and normalization as main tools for
    designing databases. Relational databases are emphasized throughout the course.
    Databases will be implemented on software packages with an emphasis on SQL. Some
    selected database issues like database Security, Reliability, and Integrity will also be
    overviewed.

    Course Objectives

    After completing this course students will able to:


     Differentiate between traditional file-based systems and database systems
     Describe the ANSI-SPARC database architecture
     Describe database development life cycle
     Design a database using conceptual, logical and physical database design methods
     Write SQL statements to define and manipulate databases
     Describe the type of database threats and methods to control them.
