Course Content
The objective of this course is to provide an in-depth understanding of the inside details of database systems, i.e., indexing, query optimization, transaction processing and concurrency management. It will also cover advanced aspects such as distributed databases, distributed transaction management, parallel databases, and NoSQL. Last but not least, the course will present advanced query languages. The aims of this course are to learn the technical details of database systems; to understand how these concepts are implemented in concrete systems; and to get hands-on experience in using a database system.
Objectives
- Understand the internals of various database technologies, the assumptions behind their designs challenges, and their technological stack
- Develop the ability to select the appropriate database technology to address specific challenges
- Gain practical experience by experimenting with relevant technologies
