Databases form the backbone of all major applications today – tightly or loosely coupled, intranet or internet based, financial, social, administrative, and so on. Structured Database Management Systems (DBMS) based on relational and other models have long formed the basis for such databases. Consequently, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase etc. have emerged as leading commercial systems while MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. lead in open source and free domain. While DBMS’s differ in details, they share a common set of models, design paradigms and a Structured Query Language (SQL).
In this background the course would examine data structures, file organizations, concepts and principles of DBMS’s, data analysis, database design, data modeling, database management, data & query optimization, and database implementation. More specifically, the course introduces relational data models; entity-relationship modeling, SQL, data normalization, and database design. It would also introduce query coding practices using MySQL (or any other open system) through various assignments. Design of simple multi-tier client/server architectures based and Web-based database applications will also be introduced.

COURSE INSTRUCTOR
Partha Pratim Das received his
BTech, MTech and PhD degrees in 1984, 1985 and 1988 respectively from IIT
Kharagpur. He served as a faculty in Department of Computer Science and
Engineering, IIT Kharagpur from 1988 to 1998. In 1998, he joined Alumnus
Software Ltd as a Business Development Manager. From 2001 to 2011, he worked
for Interra Systems, Inc. as a Senior Director and headed its Kolkata Center.
In 2011, he joined back to Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT
Kharagpur as Professor. Dr. Das has also served as a Visiting Professor with
Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, Calcutta University from 2003 to
2013.
Dr. Das is currently the Head
of Rajendra Mishra School of Engineering Entrepreneurship, the
Professor-inCharge of the upcoming Research Park of IIT Kharagpur at Rajarhat,
Kolkata, and the Joint Principal Investigator of National Digital Library of
India project of MHRD.
Dr. Das has taught several
courses in Computer Science including Software Engineering, Object-Oriented
Systems, Programming and Data Structure, Compiler Design, Design and Analysis
of Algorithms, Information System Design, Database Management Systems,
Computational Geometry, Principles of Programming Languages, Embedded Systems,
and Image Processing. Jointly with 2 others, he has also offered a course on
Introduction to Design of Algorithms under the T10KT program of NME-ICT, MHRD
(https://www.facebook.com/t10kt.algorithms/) to nearly 7000 teachers. Further,
Dr. Das has been offering Programming in C++ and Object-Oriented Analysis and
Design in NPTEL-NOC. Both courses are regularly attended by thousands of
students.
Dr. Das has published
over 40 technical papers in international journals in areas of Digital
Geometry, Image Processing, Parallel Computing and Knowledge-based Systems. In
2013 he has co-authored a research monograph titled Digital Geometry in Image
Processing (CRC Press). His current interests include Human-Computer
Interactions, Computer Analysis of Indian Classical Dance, Object-Oriented
Systems Analysis and Design, Software Engineering, Compiler Technology, and
Technology Enabled Learning. Dr. Das is a member of Association of Computing
Machinery (ACM), The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
and Indian Unit for Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence (IUPRAI).
