Database Design and Implementation Exam Bank
Course Introduction
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles and practices of database design and implementation. Students will learn how to analyze data requirements, create conceptual and logical data models, and transform these models into effective relational database schemas. Topics covered include normalization, data integrity, and the use of Entity-Relationship (ER) diagrams. The course also covers SQL (Structured Query Language) for defining, manipulating, and querying data, as well as practical aspects of implementing databases using modern database management systems. Through hands-on projects and assignments, students will develop the skills necessary to design, implement, and maintain robust databases in real-world applications.
