Seminar Abstract

Relational Database Techniques (and SQL)

Alternate Title: Advanced Relational Database Techniques (and SQL)

The technology in the data processing industry is changing - from files or navigational database tools to relational databases. Getting from an idea to a data store involves modeling, normalizing, and finally implementing the data structures. The structures and methods of accessing the data are expressed in the ANSI standard language SQL (Structured Query Language, pronounced "sequel").

There are advanced topics related to relational databases; these include: tuning and efficient coding of SQL, typical tasks of the DBA (Data Base Analyst), and client/server techniques.
