Subject Code: 10050302 Subject Title: Database Management Systems
Pre-requisite: Basic knowledge of Computer Programming

Course Objective:
(1) Understand the fundamental concepts of database management systems (DBMS) and their
role in modern information systems.
(2) Learn the process of database design, including schema definition, entity-relationship
modeling, normalization, and data integrity constraints.
(3) Acquire practical skills in using database query languages, such as SQL (Structured Query
Language), to retrieve, manipulate, and update data stored in a database.
(4) Explore techniques for optimizing database performance, including indexing, query
optimization, and transaction management.
(5) Understand the principles of data security and privacy in database systems, including access
control mechanisms, encryption, and data backup and recovery strategies.

Course Outcome:
1. Design and create a relational database using appropriate data modeling techniques and principles,
including entity-relationship diagrams and normalization.
2. Construct and execute complex SQL queries to retrieve, manipulate, and update data in a relational
database.
3. Apply optimization techniques to enhance the performance of database operations, such as query
optimization, indexing, and transaction management.
4. Demonstrate an understanding of data integrity constraints and enforce them effectively in a
database system.
5. Design and implement appropriate security measures to protect data in a database, including access
control, authentication, and encryption techniques.
6. Design and implement transactional database systems that adhere to the ACID (Atomicity,
Consistency, Isolation, Durability) properties.
