Database Management with Oracle/MySQL

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Database Management with Oracle/MySQL course spans twelve weeks, providing an in-depth study of database design, development, and management using Oracle and MySQL. Students start by installing the necessary tools and setting up their environments, followed by an introduction to the core concepts of database management systems (DBMS) and relational database management systems (RDBMS).

The course progresses with a focus on SQL (Structured Query Language) fundamentals, teaching students how to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) data efficiently. Students will learn to design database schemas, create tables, and enforce data integrity using primary and foreign keys, constraints, and normalization techniques.

In the following weeks, students delve into advanced SQL queries, including joins, subqueries, and set operations. They will also learn to optimize queries for performance and understand indexing, transactions, and concurrency control. Both Oracle and MySQL specific features and extensions will be covered, highlighting their unique capabilities and use cases.

Midway through the course, students will explore database administration tasks such as backup and recovery, user management, and security implementation. They will practice using Oracle’s RMAN (Recovery Manager) and MySQL’s various backup utilities to safeguard data. Students will also configure and manage database instances, monitor performance, and troubleshoot common issues.

Towards the end, the course covers advanced topics such as stored procedures, triggers, and views, enabling students to create efficient and reusable database code. Students will also learn about data warehousing concepts and the use of Oracle’s and MySQL’s tools for data analysis and reporting.

The course concludes with a project where students design, implement, and manage a comprehensive database solution, incorporating all the learned techniques and best practices. Through lectures, hands-on labs, assignments, and quizzes, students will acquire the skills necessary for proficient database management with Oracle and MySQL.
