Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
- Programming - Algorithms and Data Structures - Computer Structure
This course aim is to understand the need of secondary storage, to learn the wide diversity of solutions and to become skilled at choosing and implementing the most appropriate in each case. Agenda will cover the physical level from elementary to the Relational Model for database management. To achieve these objectives, the student must acquire a set of generic capabilities, knowledge, skills and attitudes. 1.- Cross/Generic Capabilities o Analysis and synthesis abilities (PO a) o Organize and plan abilities o Troubleshooting (PO c, e) o Teamwork (PO d) o Ability to apply knowledge in practice (PO c, e, k) 2.- Specific Capabilities o Cognitive (Knowledge) (PO a) - Fundamentals of Databases - Basic File Structures - Relational Data Model o Procedural/Instrumental (Know how) (PO a, b, c, e, g, k) - Abstraction and design of an information system using the Relational Model - Use of tools provided by RDBMS for creating, operating and controlling DB - Develop and implement tests for proving correctness and benefits of a database design. - Plan and manage adequate physical organizations for an information system - Implementing File Structures (on RDBMS and prog. languages) - Evaluate the performance of diverse physical structures o Attitudinal (To be) (PO c, i) - Ability to create designs (creativity) - Concerns about the effectiveness - Concerns about the efficiency - To discuss and clarify the diverse solutions to a problem The aimed competences are of diverse type: basic (CB2), general (CG1, CG2, CG3, CGB4) and specific (CECRI5, CECRI7, CECRI12, CECRI13).

Learning activities and methodology
- Theoretical classes: 1 ECTS. Aim to achieve the specific cognitive skills of the subject . (PO a) - Practical Lessons: 1 ECTS. Develop specific instrumental skills and most of the cross capabilities, such as teamwork, to apply knowledge to practice, to plan and organize, and to analyze and synthesize. They are also aim to develop specific attitude skills, such as understanding the design and development of an information system. (PO a, c, e, g) - Supervised Academic Activities a) With the presence of the lecturer: 0.5 ECTS guidance on alternative paths of study through individual or small groups tutored activities. Discussion and joint resolution of problems. (PO a, c) b) Without the presence of the lecturer: 1.5 ECTS. Exercises and basic and supplementary readings suggested by the lecturer. (PO a, i, k) c) Working group: 1.5 ECTS. Consists in the development of an information system proposed in practical classes, through two implementations (file structures and relational databases) and the development of a report. (PO a, b, c, d, e, g, k) - Review and Exercises: 0.5 ECTS. They aim to influence and complement in the development of specific cognitive and procedural skills. (PO a, c, e)
