Course objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce principles of information and database systems to the students. In detail, the issues of database systems will be tackled, especially, the topics about designing, functionality, data modelling, querying and using analytical tools. The aim of one-hour seminars is to excercise selected fenomena in practise. The students will get an idea about the overall problem of design and development of information systems and its individual stages. The students will learn principles of database systems from the theoretical and practical point of view. The students will be able to use a relational database system and query its data.
