Course Objectives:
This course aims to equip PGDM students with essential skills in Database Management Systems, emphasizing
data modelling, SQL, and database design. Students will learn to manage and Analyse data effectively, ensuring
data integrity and security, to support strategic decision-making in business environments.

Course Outcomes:
After completing this course, students will be able to:

Identify and describe fundamental concepts and components of Database Management Systems,
1
including data models, database schemas, and data integrity constraints.

Explain the principles of database design and the role of normalization in organizing database
2
tables to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity.

Apply SQL commands to create, modify, and query databases, demonstrating the ability to
3
manage data within a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Analyse database requirements and design an appropriate database schema, including the
4
identification of entities, relationships, and constraints.

Evaluate the performance of different database designs and indexing strategies, making
5 recommendations for optimization and improvement based on specific use cases and data access
patterns.
Knowledge:
• Knowledge of various database models (relational, NoSQL, hierarchical, network, object-oriented) and
their appropriate use cases. Familiarity with concepts such as normalization, denormalization, indexing,
and transactions.
• Proficiency in SQL (Structured Query Language) for querying and managing relational databases.
Understanding of database management tools and platforms (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
MongoDB).
Skills:
• Ability to design and implement efficient database schemas. Skilled in ER (Entity-Relationship)
modelling and translating business requirements into database structures.
• Proficiency in optimizing database performance through indexing, query optimization, and efficient data
retrieval strategies. Experience with performance tuning tools and techniques.
Attitude:
 • Meticulousness in designing and maintaining database systems to ensure data integrity, consistency, and
accuracy. Commitment to following best practices and standards in database management.
• Proactive attitude towards staying updated with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices in the
field of database management. Eagerness to experiment with new tools and methodologies to improve
database systems.
