This course explores how databases are designed and implemented, with
an emphasis on industrial and commercial applications. We focus on the
relational database model and learn the mathematics of relational algebra and
structured queries. Students will gain experience with a commercial database
management system and will work in teams to design and implement a prototype
database for a local organization.
Registration for IEOR

NOTE: Due to the size of our
laboratory, the class is limited to 50 students. Priority is given to
graduating IEOR seniors (who are guaranteed admission and are given course
entry codes in advance).
Other students are
welcome to come to the first 2 classes: since it's difficult to determine the
numbers at registration time, we will give a simple entrance exam to all
interested students. Don't worry about studying for this, it's not a test of
knowledge but of eligibility and enthusiasm. Remaining class entry codes will
be given out in the second class. I realize this is inconvenient but it's the
only fair solution.
