CSCI 192 - Introduction to Databases and SQL

Organized storage of data in a manner that facilitates easy and efficient retrieval of the data, access to data, and the ability to extract meaningful information from that data are some of the fundamental currencies of the 21st century. Students who can access, process, and analyze data will be well positioned for success in a wide variety of careers after graduation. In this introductory course, students will learn how to use the Structured Query Language (SQL) to store and access data in the relational database model. Transactional data such as purchase records and inventory data, and students’ personal and educational data are housed in relational databases. Students who successfully complete this course will be well equipped to efficiently store and access data to support well informed decision-making efforts. Students cannot count both this course and CSCI 392 toward a computer science major.
