Database Development

A study of enterprise data models, including how data storage and retrieval methods have changed over time. Modern techniques for handling relational and non-relational data and their implications in transactional and analytical processing are evaluated. Students will gain practical skills in designing, creating and querying databases using database management systems.

Course code

Qualifications are made up of courses. Some universities call these papers. Each course is numbered using six digits.
