Database Systems

This module aims to develop the software engineering and database administration skills required for designing, creating, running and developing a relational database application and its associated application software suite. In addition to enhance the understanding of the fundamental concepts, theories and methods of the relational data model, physical file systems, optimization and indexing will also be covered in depth. In addition to the basic concepts in relational databases, this module will introduce time-series and spatially organised databases as IoT data is all about spatio-temporal relationships and join operations.
