Credit Hours: 3 ECTS: 5 Contact hrs: 2hrs Laboratory: 3hrs Tutorial: 2hrs

Prerequisite: CoSc2041 Fundamentals of Database Systems

year II semester II

Course description

This course deals with query optimization, transaction management, recovery and concurrency control,
database authorization and security. Additional topics including object oriented and object relational
database systems, distributed databases, and integration may also be covered. A major component of the
course is a database implementation project using current database languages and systems.

Course objectives

At the end of this course, students will be able to:


 Describe the main concepts of the OO model such as object identity, type constructors,
encapsulation inheritance, polymorphism, and versioning
 Evaluate a set of query processing strategies and select the optimal strategy. Know the basics of
transaction management and concurrency control
 Understand database security
 Use different recovery methods when there is a database failure
 Design a distributed database system in homogenous and heterogeneous environments
