COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Database Management System (DBMS) is the cornerstone technology for Information Technology applications. The contents of the DBMS are Information resources of an Organization. As managers you must understand how to exploit these Information resources. As knowledge workers you must access the operational databases and utilize a DBMS package (e.g. ACCESS) to process your information needs. Data Management tasks have changed and evolved over the last 30 years of rapid computer technology advances. This course covers the evolution, concepts, terminology, technology, and applications of DBMS. The Data Analysis and Data Design techniques of DBMS will be demonstrated using Microsoft ACCESS.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the end of this course, each student should be able to:

  1. Describe the history of database concepts, techniques, and technologies for developing business information systems.

2. Identify and define the features and functions of DBMS software package. Use ACCESS to demonstrate DBMS capabilities, and database concepts.

3. Perform the Data Analysis to create a conceptual business model, and the Data Design to create a logical design model for Database system development.

4. Describe database administration to distribute, administer, share and secure the organization’s information resources.

  1. Apply SQL and QBE access techniques for processing the content of DBMS.

  2. Review the OLAP techniques for data Warehouse, and data mining applications.

7. Discuss the future DBMS technology including Internet, Intranet, and multimedia
