This course provides a foundation in retrieval of information from different types of data sources, such as Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMSS); Key-Value Data Stores; and Semi-Structured and Unstructured Text. Students develop the key competencies necessary for designing data structures associated with each of the above—mentioned data sources and in accessing data stored in those sources. The primary areas of emphasis will be RDBMSS and Structured Query Language. Key-value data stores and data—stores for storing unstructured data will be introduced and the problem areas where they are applicable will explained and contrasted with those involving RDBMSS.
