| The goal | Understanding the architectures of modern DBMS for large scale databases, different possibilities for their integration and evaluation the different comercial tools | |||
| The outcome | Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to: • Critically evaluate the different DBMS and their features • Appreciate the need and different possibilities for DB integration • Complete implementation of selected case study from the Experience Repository; • Gain practical experiences on using industry-strength tools. | |||
| Contents | ||||
| Contents of lectures | • DB Taxonomy: DBMS models and architectures; DB aspects (relational, procedural, object-oriented, descriptive (XML), deductive); XML, XPath, XQuery; Persistent objects; DB integrity • DB integration: language-oriented (embedded SQL); driver-oriented (ODBC, JDBC) (architectures, driver types, application scenarios); component-based; SOA integration; Web Services; agent-based | |||
| Contents of exercises | • A set of different projects (case studies) organized and supported as an Experience Repository (ER) including case studies from the theoretical parts of the modules • Team work: The student will be organized in teams; The teams select an appropriate project proposal from the ER • Proposal for Case Studies: RDBMS-oriented projects & integration; OODBMS-oriented projects & integration; SOA integration (XML); ER supporting environment; MetricDB • Documentation of the development process | |||
