This course covers the essential concepts, principles, techniques, and mechanisms for the design, analysis, use, and implementation of computerized database systems. Key information management concepts and techniques are examined: information modeling and representation; information interfaces - access, query, and manipulation, implementation structures, and issues of distribution. The database and information management system technology examined in this course represents the state-of-the-art, including traditional approaches as well as recent research developments. By providing an imbalanced view of "theory" and "practice," the course should allow the student to understand, use, and build practical database and information management systems. The course is intended to provide a basic understanding of the issues and problems involved in database systems, a knowledge of currently practical techniques for satisfying the needs of such a system, and an indication of the current research approaches that are likely to provide a basis for tomorrow's solutions.

As stated in the university catalog, a passing grade in CSCI485 or departmental permission is required to register for this class. Knowledge in relational databases, SQL, relational algebra and physical database design is required.
This Course involves challenging programming assignments and projects for which understanding of and programming ability in Java is required. Knowledge in JDBC is a plus.

Use the Extended ER and Object Relational concepts to create a conceptual schema for a provided example application. Use your schema to build a sample database in Oracle. Write the given queries in SQL3 and execute them on your database.
Homework 2
Extend your schema of Homework 1 to support spatial datatypes. Use the new schema to build a database in Oracle. Write a GUI program that allow the users to select spatial attributes for spatial queries (e.g. selection from a map). The GUI must then parse these into SQL queries, which will be passed to your database.
Homework 3
Extend the schema from Homework 1 to XML. Create a DTD specification for the same. Write a custom XSL stylesheet (details will be provided). Write an XML parser module that reads the XML data and automatically populates your database (a sort of XML->SQL conversion). Write XML Queries using an XML Query Language (e.g., X-Query) to query the XML data.
All homework and exams must be solved and written independently, or you will be penalized for plagiarism. The USC Student Conduct Code prohibits plagiarism. All USC students are responsible for reading and following the Student Conduct Code, which appears on pp. 76-77 of the 2000-2001 SCampus.
In this course we encourage students to study together. This includes discussing general strategies to be used on individual assignments. However, all work submitted for the class is to be done individually.
Some examples of what is not allowed by the conduct code: copying all or part of someone else's work (by hand or by looking at others' files, either secretly or if shown), and submitting it as your own; giving another student in the class a copy of your assignment solution; consulting with another student during an exam. If you have questions about what is allowed, please discuss it with the instructor.
Students who violate University standards of academic integrity are subject to disciplinary sanctions, including failure in the course and suspension from the University. Since dishonesty in any form harms the individual, other students, and the University, policies on academic integrity will be strictly enforced. We expect you to familiarize yourself with the Academic Integrity guidelines found in the current SCampus.
Violations of the Student Conduct Code will be filed with the Office of Student Conduct, and appropriate sanctions will be given.
