Contents of teaching:
  • Introduction, conceptual view of database systems, conceptual data modeling with the Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling language
  • The relational data model * Referential integrity, keys, foreign keys, functional dependencies (FDs) * Canonical mapping of entity types and relationships into the relational data model * Update, insertions, and deletion anomalies * Relational algebra as a query language * Database normalization, closure w.r.t. FD set, canonical cover of FD sets, normal forms, correct and dependency preserving decomposition of relation schemata, multi-value dependencies, inclusion dependencies
  • Practical query language: SQL * Selection, projection, join, aggregation, grouping, sorting, difference, relational algebra in SQL * Data management * Integrity constraints
  • Storage structures and database architecture * Characteristics of storage media, I/O complexity * DBMS architecture: disk space manager, buffer manager, files and access methods, record allocation strategies (row-wise, column-wise, mixed)
  • Query processing * Indexing techniques, ISAM index, B+-tree index, hash index * Sorting: Two-way merge sort, blockwise processing, selection trees, query execution plans, join operator: nested loops join, blockwise nested loops join, index-based joins, sort-merge join, partition-based join with hashing * Addition operators: grouping and duplicate elimination, selection, projection, pipeline principle
  • Datalog * Syntax, semantics, treatment of negation (stratification) * Evaluation strategies (naive, semi naive, magic set transformation)
  • Query optimization * Cost metrics, Estimating sizes of intermediate tables, selectivity * Join optimization, physical plan properties, interesting orders, query transformation * Index cuts, bitmap indexes
  • Transactions and recovery * ACID, anomalies, serializability, locks, 2-phase commit protocol, concurrent access to index structures, isolation levels * Implementation of transaction w.r.t. ACID, shadow pages, write ahead log, snapshots
