[email protected] Purpose Database processing is the foundation upon which all current applications rely and represent the repositories of business intelligence that play a crucial role in the strategic success or failure of a corporation. Even though they vary in size, complexity and organizational scope, there is an underlying common database engine that can be used to manipulate and analyze the stored information. The purpose of this course is to introduce the business professional to the fundamental concepts of database creation, design, application integration, maintenance, management and subsequent analysis. By the end of the course, you should be able to: • Understand the different types of databases and their organizational contexts • Understand the major elements of a database system • Describe the tasks involved in developing a database and an associated application • Apply the Entity-Relationship (E-R) model for modeling business applications • Understand basic relational terminology • Transform E-R models into relational, DBMS-independent designs • Exercise the tasks to be accomplished in relational data definition • Utilize standard Structured Query Language (SQL) • Employ normalization rules on data structures • Understand the basic functions of multiuser databases • Understand the basic concepts of business intelligence systems • Interact with the end user in developing data specifications
