Credit Hours: 3 ECTS: 5 Contact Hrs. 2hrs Laboratory: 3hrs Tutorial: 2hrs
Prerequisite: CoSc2041 Fundamentals of Database Systems

Year: III Semester I

Target Student List: Regular, Extension, and Weekend

Instructor: Elias M. (PhD candidate) Email: eliasmg664@gmail.com


Course description
this course deals with query optimization, transaction management, recovery and concurrency
control, database authorization, and security. Additional topics including object-oriented and
object-relational database systems, distributed databases, and integration may also be covered. A
major component of the course is a database implementation project using current database
languages and systems.

Course objectives
at the end of this course, students will be able to:
 Describe the main concepts of the OO model such as object identity, type constructors,
encapsulation inheritance, polymorphism, and versioning
 evaluate a set of query processing strategies and select the optimal strategy. Know the basics
of transaction management and concurrency control
 Understand database security
 Use different recovery methods when there is a database failure
 Design a distributed database system in homogenous and heterogeneous environments
