Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. Analyze a written description of a situation & apply Codd's theory of
database design to create a database in the third normal form.
2. Identify eight data types and their uses.
3. Filter, sort, and search for data from tables and forms.
4. Given a written set of criteria, select the appropriate query type,
create a query, and successfully manipulate the data tables.
5. Produce a custom form with detail, a header, and a footer.
6. Produce a custom report with detail as well as page and group headers
and footers.
7. Create expressions to produce calculated fields.
8. Compare and contrast flat file and relational databases.
9. Distinquish between the inner and the two outer joins, examine
the data requirements and apply the appropriate join.
10. Analyze a written description of a desired subset of data, and create
a query, applying appropriate conditional and logical operators.
11. Distinguish between one to one, one to many, and many to many
relationships in database design. Explain why intermediary tables are
required, and describe and demonstrate the steps required to
implement a many to many relationship.
12. Analyze an existing database and create a data dictionary for that
database.
