Course Material

In this second course on database systems, you will learn the fundamental issues involved in building a database management system. The course will focus on relational databases, but will also touch on object-relational databases, and briefly on NoSQL databases. There is one required text, ``Database System Concepts'' by Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan, seventh edition. Many of you will have the textbook already from having done 4111. The course will cover material from chapters 12-24. Some additional material will be provided by the instructor. Copies of the textbook have been placed on reserve in the Science & Engineering Library. Additional material related to the textbook (including solutions to some of the exercises) can be found here.
