Database Management System
Course Objectives
This Course enables the students to
- Observe that how the real world data is stored, retrieved, and communicate under the DBMS environment
- Design a logical model which having the unique relation between the Data.
- Apply the query for the modification of the system.
- Develop a conceptual design which allows as to avoid anomalies in superior’s data.
- Discuss a system which allows restricting the uncontrolled exaction and providing rigorous variation of the task
