Relational databases are the default architecture to manage, query, and analyze large volumes of (structured) data. This course introduces common concepts and structures necessary for the design and implementation of database management systems and their usage in practical applications. In addition to studying relational databases with a practical focus on learning SQL over open-source databases such as MariaDB/PostgreSQL, this course also introduces large-scale data management techniques over in-memory computing platforms such as SparkSQL.

After successful completion of this course, students are capable to:

develop an Entity-Relationship model for a concrete data modeling problem;

formulate queries of average complexity in SQL;

assimilate practical SQL experience on open-source database systems;

explain the basic concepts used in databases;

explain the differences of NoSQL databases compared with relational databases and their relevance for “Big Data” applications.

The course starts by introducing the basic techniques to model both entities and their relationships and object-oriented representations in a relational database schema with respective normal forms. Next, students learn to formulate relational queries in the structured query language (SQL) and implement database constraints and triggers via PL/SQL and stored procedures. Moreover, we will have a look at advanced data-warehousing techniques for extracting, loading, and transforming (ETL) data, as well as for online analytical processing (OLAP) and online transaction processing (OLTP). Finally, an outlook complements the topics onto recent trends in NoSQL databases, which are highly relevant for implementing “Big Data” applications based on the Apache Hadoop, SparkSQL platforms. The course proposes a practical assignment, in which students implement a data-warehousing application by using the various platforms:Entity-Relationship Model (ERM) and Object Definition Language (ODL)Relational Data Model, Schema Design and Normal Forms, Relational AlgebraStructured Query Language (SQL), Constraints and Triggers, Stored Procedures in PL/SQL, Embedded SQL and JDBCData Warehousing, Extract-Transform-Load (ETL), Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)MapReduce Principle for Distributed Data Management using Apache HadoopNoSQL Databases using SparkSQL

One project assignment (30%), three practical laboratories in class (30%), and a final written exam (40%).

Literature: Relevant literature and practical exercises will be announced in class and made available on the Moodle course management platform.

Analyser plus en détail et mettre en œuvre concrètement en Java, une quinzaine de design patterns sélectionnés dans les trois grandes catégories classiques : les patterns de création qui donnent des solutions aux problèmes liés à l’instanciation des classes, les patterns structurels qui donnent des solutions aux problèmes liés à l’architecture d’un logiciel en classes, et enfin les patterns de comportements qui donnent des solutions algorithmiques aux problèmes de communication et de synchronisation entre objets pendant l’exécution du logiciel. Explorer quelques exemples classiques de composition de plusieurs design patterns dans une application.

Après avoir réussi ce cours, les étudiants sont capables de:mettre en œuvre les « design patterns » en Java.expliquer les concepts et les méthodes de génie logiciel.
