CSE 562LEC - Database Systems

Database Management Systems (DBMS) are an important piece of software widely used in various data intensive applications. No matter what data model or query language it adopts, there are principles and methodologies commonly found in virtually all DBMS, in order to support efficient and fault-tolerant data storage, query and management. In this course, we will examine the internals of a traditional Relational DataBase Management System (RDBMS) and discuss the common principles and methodologies that may be useful in many other database and data processing systems beyond RDBMS. The students will also gain practical experience of efficient data management through a semester-long project of implementing various components of a mini RDBMS.
