Learning outcomes

Data is described as the "new oil" in the information society. Company-relevant data, which is stored in databases and made available across applications, is the basis of most information and communication systems. The aim of this course is to learn the modelling, implementation and querying of relational database systems based on an overview of database architectures.

The students know different database architectures and can sketch them. They know the advantages and disadvantages of entity relationship models (ER models) and relational data models. They know the different language elements and can interpret the models. The students can create an ER model based on a description of a subsection of the entrepreneurial reality. Furthermore, they can convert the model into a relational data model using tools. Finally, they are able to analyse and, if necessary, optimise a given relational data model through normalisation.
