Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The course introduces central methods to understand the modeling and daily usage (CRUD operations) of databases and the characteristics of computer-based information systems. This knowledge will be applied to aggregate information and to facilitate and accelerate decision-making processes. Particular attention will be paid to conceptual and logical database design, data analysis using SQL, algorithms for selecting materialized views, database systems technology, and tools for managing a large amount of data. The student will acquire knowledge of the fundamental concepts to design and use database models. Beyond the relational part, we will have a look at NoSQL databases, such as Graphdatabases, Textdatabases, and Document-oriented databases.

This course consists of lectures, homework, and exams.

Generic goals:
- Improvement of programming skills
- Understanding of interplay in Business Administration and databases.

Students of the Master Business Analytics program who have not yet passed the exam "Introduction to Programming with Python" can be admitted to the course on a daily basis after successfully passing the exam. Please contact the course management for this purpose.
