This course is an advanced TSQL Querying course. The course expects that students are already aware of basic database concepts and are comfortable writing basic TSQL queries like SELECT, JOINS, etc. Students are expected to have taken my previous course (Introduction to databases and Querying). This course covers advanced concepts like Views, Triggers, Dynamic Queries, etc.
Effective collection, analysis, and maintenance of data are key to achieve rapid progress in almost all disciplines of science and engineering. The potential topics covered in class include processing and optimization of declarative queries, transactions, crash recovery, self-tuning database systems, data stream systems, information retrieval, and Web data management (e.g., Internet search engines like Google), and data mining. The course materials will be drawn from textbooks as well as recent research literature.
Prerequisites: An introductory database course may be helpful, but it is not required. If you have not taken an introductory database course before, please talk to the instructor first.
