This document outlines the syllabus for an MCA course on relational database management systems. The course introduces students to fundamental database concepts like data modeling, normalization, and SQL. It will cover topics such as the relational model, entity-relationship diagrams, functional dependencies, relational algebra, and database design principles. Students will learn to analyze business needs and design databases using tools like SQL. The course aims to help students develop skills for implementing database solutions to real-world problems.

MCA – 304 Syllabus Course Breakup MCA - 304: Relational Database Manage Systems Instructor: Harmeet Singh Gill (HG), M.I.T. Office: Campus – I Phone: +91 (0) 161-2888630 x630 Website: Email: emailharmeet@gmail.com Hours: as posted, or by appointment Course Description This course introduces students to the fundamentals of databases and data analysis, emphasizing that the key to successful database implementation is in proper design to fit within a larger strategic view of the data environment. Students will learn to analyze and model data (i.e., design), then create and utilize a database. Students will use SQL as a query language, along with other database management tools. The labs, projects and exercises incorporate real-world business cases to help students develop database and systems analysis skills. Prerequisites: Basic understanding of Computer. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: U Demonstrate knowledge of fundamental data design and relational database concepts. c Demonstrate understanding of the stages of the Systems Development Life Cycle and the Database Life Cycle. a Design appropriate database tables and queries for a business case. D Use computer and database management skills to implement a solution to a business case using a database management system.
