21PCS105-Advanced Relational and Distributed Database Management Systems
About Course
This course provides an in-depth understanding of advanced concepts in Database Management Systems, focusing on query evaluation, transaction management, database tuning, distributed databases, and database security. Students will learn how modern database systems process and optimize queries, manage concurrent transactions, recover from system failures, and handle large-scale distributed data efficiently.
The course also introduces physical database design, indexing techniques, spatial data management, and advanced security mechanisms used in real-world database applications. By the end of the course, learners will gain practical and analytical skills required for designing, optimizing, securing, and managing high-performance database systems in enterprise environments.
