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
