• CS 3520: Database Theory

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Prerequisite(s): Matriculation to computer science or software engineering and University Advanced Standing. Introduces the underlying theories of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) as well as their practical use retrieving data using both embedded SQL and relational algebra. Implements queries that start from simply joining, selecting, and projecting data, then progresses to more complex data retrieval techniques that require the use of set operations, sub-queries, and group by having clauses. Discusses entity-relationship (ER) modeling, creating a RDBMS from an ER model, B+ Trees, ACID transactions, normalization, locking, concurrency issues, and alternatives to an RDBMS.. Lab access fee of $45 for computers applies.

• CS 3530: Data Management For Data Sciences

  3.00 Credits

  Utah Valley University

  
  Prerequisite(s): CS 3520 and University Advanced Standing. Covers advanced relational databases and issues related to managing non-relational data sets. Has two major components: (1) advances knowledge in relational database and skills in using SQL and database indexing; and (2) introduces NoSQL databases such as a document-oriented database, key-value database, column-oriented database, graph database, and Hadoop system and data warehousing. Justifies the need for NoSQL databases, and shows how they are implemented in database systems. Presents criteria that decision makers should consider when choosing between relational and non-relational databases and techniques for selecting the NoSQL database that best addresses specific use cases.
