ADVANCED DATABASES

CSE5ADB

2014

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

Introduction of this subject is motivated by the following three facts: The first fact is that data volume is increasingly larger and the information requirements have become very complex that it is difficult to derive all necessary information from the data structures typically found in a relational database system. Thus, a new data storage facility called Data Warehouse is introduced. The ways to query and analyse a Data Warehouse, known as OLAP queries, will also be introduced. The second fact is that Object-Oriented Conceptual modelling is becoming popular in software design, particularly for database modelling. This has stimulated the emergence of the new era of Object-Relational Databases and Data Warehouses, which will be the second topic area in this subject. The third fact is the need for the integration of web, databases, and data warehouse technologies which motivates the third topic area in Web and XML databases.
