Introduction to Business Intelligence and database design

This module provides an introduction to databases, including their definition and historical overview. It describes database management systems and the DDL, DML, DCL and TCL statements. The database models and the differences between OLTP and OLAP databases are also mentioned. The relational model is introduced and how it relates to relational algebra and SQL is explained.

SQL Standard

This module covers various aspects of the relational database model. It explains the concept of relational algebra and its relationship to the SQL language. Composite or derived operations and normalisation are described, as well as the process of moving from the Entity-Relationship model to the relational model. It details the SQL language and how to create and use a relational database, including subqueries and the ANY and ALL statements. The article concludes with examples and practices to reinforce the concepts.
