1. To understand, the design of a structural databases.
2. To emphasize on the understanding relational data model, its constraints and
operations.
3. To visualize the internal functioning of database management systems.
Course Outcomes
1. Understand the basic concepts of database and various data models used in
database design.
2. Design and implement conceptual models and create database design using
normalization.
