Course Code C0505 Th 4 Pr 4 CrHrs 3

           A study of the necessary management, file, and data structures within the context of the design, implementation, and use of a database management system. Topics include administration of data resource and program development in creating, maintaining, and accessing a database. Students will use current microcomputer (SQL server) and Large Scale (Oracle) application software within the database management system environment.

      The purpose of this course: First, to explains the IS concepts. Second, the course also lists the basic components that form the IS and its roles in an organization and business. Third, the course leads to analyze in groups to study on IS in organization. In addition, the course covers the fundamentals of database systems including data modeling and relationships and normalization. Further, this course explains the SQL query statements in order to design a real database using SQL server
