Thank you for replying!
I was looking to begin a course on database systems but unfortunately I applied to the course to late..
The course represents about 5 weeks of full time study.
This is from the course web page:
Lärandemål (efter fullgjord kurs ska studenten kunna) (goals)
By the end of the course the student should know how to design and use databases as an end user, as an application programmer and as a database administrator.
Innehåll (contents)
The course covers the basic principles of database systems as seen by users, application programmers and database administrators. A laboratory assignment develops these topics as a running example throughout the course. These include programming in SQL, as seen by a user querying or modifying an existing database, by a database designer, and by an application programmer invoking SQL from a host language.
Course contents include:
* Entity-Relationship modelling
* Functional Dependencies and Normalisation
* Database querying and manipulation through SQL
* Interfacing to a database from a host language (Java/JDBC)
* The semi-structured model, XML
Unfortunatly there is no litterature referred to on the site.
So since i cant take the course I still want to learn the things mentioned above. The course was using java but thats not necessary Any "C" dialect will do as well. Allthough I prefer C#
Sorry for the long post.
Mvh
