Coverage: plan, design and set-up a simple database

using open source tools. Concepts of database

structure, relational and text-base databases,

indexing, web-accessible databases, database

migration. Emphasis is on developing database using

free software.

The course is a mixture of presentations and

demonstrations with emphasis on hands-on practical

experience. Emphasis will be given on collaborative

learning and group work.

Goals: To design and develop a simple database using

mySQL or CDS/ISIS.

suggestion:

we don't discuss db management-- this

is a lengthy topic more so if we want both mysql and

cds/isis.
