Database Systems (資料庫系統) Fall Semester, 2010 Computer Science and Information Engineering Department  資訊工程學系 National Taiwan University 台灣大學 Lecture: Wed 9:10 ~ 12:00 Lecture Rooms: CSIE 103 (朱浩華) and CSIE 101 (徐宏民)

Course Description:

This is the first course in database management systems. Students will learn (1) how to use a relational databases and (2) how to build key components of a relational database. Students will also learn some advance topics, such as query optimization and transaction management, etc. Since this is a CSIE course, it will place more emphasis on the systems aspects of the database (2/3 of the course materials) rather than in the applications aspects of database systems (1/3 of the course materials). This course will be taught with a mixture of English/Chinese, and students are encouraged to ask questions either in Chinese or English.

Prerequisite:

• Data structure and algorithms
• Proficiency in C++ programming

Required Textbook:

• "Database Management Systems, Third Edition"by Ramakrishnan and Gehrke.  It is available from 新月 and (and other bookstores).
