Database Systems

Database Systems (Core Lecture)

 

 

Objectives of This Lecture

1. Learn basic techniques in Database Systems conceptually: Slides, algorithms, system, exercises
2. Learn to apply algorithms in the field of Database Systems
3. Help you not to reinvent the wheel: learn to map new problems to existing problems and solve them with established techniques.
4. Sensitize for problems of important applications: scalability, performance problems, durability, isolation
5. Sensitize for solutions of important applications: effort, performance, robustness, extensibility, maintainability

 

Distinction from Big Data Engineering (Undergrad Lecture)

Big Data Engineering: Focus on principles, design patterns, and application of Big Data technologies, in particular Data Engineering.

                                                          vs

This lecture: Deeper dive into the underlying techniques, in particular the systems aspect of Database Management Systems.
