Relational Database Design

The first module, "Introduction to DBMS, and Entity Relational Models," introduces the fundamentals of Database Management Systems (DBMS) and Entity Relational Models. Learners will explore concepts such as data storage, entities and attributes, relationships, and the representation of Entity Relationship Models. Practical exercises and self-assessment strategies will reinforce understanding.

The second module, "Relational Models," delves into the essentials of relational databases, including relations, keys, relational schemas, and the conversion of Entity Relationship Diagrams to Relational Models. Hands-on labs and solutions provide practical experience in constructing and understanding relational models.

The third module, "Normalization," focuses on addressing data redundancy and achieving normalization through the understanding of functional dependencies, normal forms, and the normalization process. Learners will engage in practical exercises and case studies to apply normalization techniques effectively.

The final module, "Case Study," provides an opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world scenario. Through a comprehensive case study, learners will demonstrate their ability to design, implement, and optimize a relational database, reinforcing their understanding of the course concepts in a practical context.
