DESCRIPTION
This course is an introduction to database systems. We will explain how to query database systems via languages such as SQL. Then, we will see how database systems work internally, how they store and index data, how they process and optimize queries, and how they process transactions while providing guarantees such as isolation, atomicity, and durability (ACID guarantees). Different database systems such a distributed DBMS, In-Memory databases and NoSQL databases will also be introduced.
