IFB105 Database Management
School of Information Systems, Queensland University of Technology
The aim of this unit is to expand your “toolkit” of methods, techniques, and technologies with the formal conceptual data modelling method ORM (Object Role Modelling - the relational model), the data manipulation language SQL (Structured Query Language) and relational databases. You will learn how to create conceptual data models of good quality and how these can be transformed into relational models that can be implemented in relational databases. Many real world applications require that you can precisely and efficiently represent data in relational databases and it is important that you learn the role data management plays in the IT profession. In this unit you will learn about the management of structured data including the querying of this type of data, while other units deal with unstructured data (e.g. graphs or documents) or other forms of data analysis (e.g. regression analysis or machine learning).
