Introduction

  • To introduce the procedural extension of SQL (PL/SQL) and train students to write modular and reusable blocks of code.
  • To enable the use of triggers, assertions, and stored procedures for automated integrity and business rule enforcement.
  • To integrate Java applications with relational databases using JDBC, SQLJ, and dynamic SQL techniques.
  • To strengthen understanding of data design principles, normalization, and functional dependencies for eliminating redundancy.
  • To provide the foundation and practice for transaction management, concurrency control, and database recovery strategies.
  • To teach how to implement ACID properties, analyze schedule serializability, and maintain data consistency in multi-user environments.

What you'll learn ?

  • Construct and execute PL/SQL blocks, aggregate queries, and parameterized procedures.
  • Create and manage database triggers, handle cursors, and apply dynamic SQL effectively.
  • Implement JDBC-based applications for data connectivity, manipulation, and metadata access.
  • Identify and resolve data anomalies, and design well-structured schemas using 1NF to 5NF and Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF).
  • Apply normalization algorithms, dependency preservation, and lossless join techniques in schema design.
  • Analyze and implement transaction properties, including commit points, system logs, and concurrency protocols.
  • Design recovery and transaction processing systems with an emphasis on real-world TPS models.
  • Evaluate transaction schedules for conflict serializability, recoverability, and consistency assurance.

Certification

  • KLiC courses are recognised by Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU).
  • MKCL provides certificate to the KLiC learner after his/her successful course completion.
  • Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University (YCMOU) provides mark sheet to successfully passed KLiC learners (Jurisdiction: Maharashtra).

Academic Approach

The academic approach of the courses 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 an employee or entrepreneur as well as development of the community to which s/he belongs. Learning methodology:

  • Step -1: Learners are given an overview of the course and its connection to life and work.
  • Step -2: Learners are exposed to the specific tool(s) used in the course through the various real-life applications of the tool(s).
  • Step -3: Learners are acquainted with the careers and the hierarchy of roles they can perform at workplaces after attaining increasing levels of mastery over the tool(s).
  • Step -4: Learners are acquainted with the architecture of the tool or tool map so as to appreciate various parts of the tool, their functions, utility and inter-relations.
  • Step -5: Learners are exposed to simple application development methodology by using the tool at the beginner’s level.
  • Step -6: Learners perform the differential skills related to the use of the tool to improve the given ready-made industry-standard outputs.
  • Step -7: Learners are engaged in appreciation of real-life case studies developed by the experts.
  • Step -8: Learners are encouraged to proceed from appreciation to imitation of the experts.
  • Step -9: After the imitation experience, they are required to improve the expert’s outputs so that they proceed from mere imitation to emulation.
  • Step-10: Emulation is taken a level further from working with differential skills towards the visualization and creation of a complete output according to the requirements provided. (Long Assignments)
  • Step-11: Understanding the requirements, communicating one’s own thoughts and presenting are important skills required in facing an interview for securing a work order/job. For instilling these skills, learners are presented with various subject-specific technical as well as HR-oriented questions and encouraged to answer them.
  • Step-12: 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, from self-expression to self-confidence and from self-confidence to self-reliance and self-esteem!
