Data Management Systems (including Relational Databases, Non-Relational Databases, and NoSQL storage systems) form the basis of the Big Data Economy we now live in. A data management system is responsible for storing data, enabling efficient access to that data, as well as mediating concurrent modifications. This class approaches the challenges of designing a data management system from a standpoint that is both principled and practical. The course revolves around a term-long programming assignment, in which you will build a system that answers SQL queries efficiently. Course lectures will focus on the conceptual basis for this system, and will discuss how the techniques you learn generalize (e.g., to the use of NoSQL systems)
In this course, you will learn...Students may discuss and advise one another on their lab projects, but groups are expected to turn in their own work. Discussing concepts is permitted. Referencing another group's code is not. Cheating on any course deliverable will result in an automatic grade of F in the course. It is the CSE department's policy not to provide financial support to any student disciplined for plagarism. The University's policy on academic integrity can be reviewed at:
