We introduce database systems and motivate the database approach as a mechanism for modeling the real world. We cover the relational model, logical database design, query languages, and other database concepts, including query optimization, concurrency control, transaction management, and log based crash recovery. Distributed and Web database architectures are also discussed.
Office hours will be held in IRB 4119, and occasionally online (zoom links posted on piazza when online).
Piazza is the preferred way to get help, whether from the instructor, TAs, or other students.
Not Used. Messages sent to keleher on ELMS will not be read.
Email to the instructor is a last resort if neither piazza, nor office hours, nor email to TAs suffices. Include 424 in the subject or I may miss it.
Let me repeat, Piazza is the preferred way to get help, whether from the instructor, TAs, or other students.
