Client/Server Database Programming Level : Upper division elective course Offered : once a year Prerequisite: CIOS 330 Client/server
computing is the latest trend in the development of database systems and local
area network (LAN) technology.
The move toward client/server architecture is primarily important for
database applications because it improves the performance of accessing shared
data in a LAN environment and allows more users to access the same data, often
using their existing PC software.
It is believed that SQL database servers will play a crucial role in
downsizing mainframe applications to client-server LAN-based systems.
It is also believed that professionals involved either in downsizing,
upgrading, or the development of new client-server applications will need to
have a vigorous and comprehensive understanding of the issues involved in the
development of robust client-server database applications. This
course is designed as an advanced database course to provide students a
comprehensive understanding of SQL relational databases and the emerging
client-server technologies.
In this course, we’ll concentrate primarily on SQL database application
development with Oracle
SQL server and introduce Oracle
developer, Microsoft Access, and Web Browser
as front-end interface development tools.
However, we’ll also have
a comprehensive discussion of SQL data definition, SQL data manipulation,
transaction management, system administration, performance tuning, benchmarking,
application programming interface, and distributed computing issues in
client-server application development. |
