Database Management and SQL Mastery

• To introduce fundamental database management concepts, including architecture, data models, and interfaces.
• To explore Entity-Relationship modeling and relational schema design techniques.
• To develop proficiency in relational algebra operations and their role in query formulation.
• To cultivate practical skills in SQL, covering data definition, manipulation, and constraints.
• To understand integrity constraints, relationships, and their application in maintaining database consistency.
• To equip learners with the ability to map ER models to relational schemas and construct efficient database queries.

• Articulate the purpose and advantages of using DBMS in varied industries.
• Classify and differentiate data models, schemas, and instances.
• Design ER diagrams to model real-world systems with appropriate attributes, keys, and relationships.
• Apply concepts of relational integrity and implement various types of constraints.
• Convert conceptual designs into relational schemas and tabular representations.
• Master relational algebra operations like projection, selection, joins, and set theory operations.
• Execute SQL statements for defining, querying, and manipulating data structures.
• Map complex relationships (1:1, 1:N, M:N, multivalued) into relational designs and write efficient relational queries.

The Academic Approach of the course focuses on the “work centric” education i.e. begin with work (and not from a book !), derive knowledge from work and apply that knowledge to make the work more wholesome, useful and delightful. The ultimate objective is to empower the Learner to engage in socially useful and productive work. It aims at leading the learner to his/her rewarding career as well as development of the society.

Learning methodology

• Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection to life and work.
• Learners are then exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).
• Learners are then acquainted with the architecture of the tool or Tool Map so as to appreciate various parts of the tool, their functions and their inter-relations.
• Learners are then exposed to simple application development methodology by using the tool at the beginner’s level
• Learners then perform the differential skills related to the use of the tool to improve the given ready-made outputs.
• Learners are then engaged in appreciation of real-life case studies developed by the experts.
• Learners are then encouraged to proceed from appreciation to imitation of the experts.
• After imitation experience, they are required to improve the expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to emulation.
• Finally, they develop the integral skills involving optimal methods and best practices to produce useful outputs right from scratch, publish them in their ePortfolio and thereby proceed from emulation to self-expression.
