Overview

CS 564 is intended to give students a solid background in relational database management systems (DBMS's). If you are interested in becoming an effective user of a relational DBMS, or a DBMS professional, this is a good introduction to the topic. An important part of this course is the project, which will involve implementing and experimenting with components of a small relational DBMS called Minibase. Project-related assignments will cover buffer management, indexing techniques and relational query optimization. The course text will be ``Database Management Systems'', by R. Ramakrishnan, which you can get at university bookstore. This will be supplemented by HTML documentation for the project software.
