Key Topics

  • Relational Database Design Using ER-to-Relational Mapping
    RE-1

    Learn how to design relational databases using ER-to-relational mapping, including mapping of regular entities, weak entities, relationship types, multivalued attributes, and N-ary relationships.

  • Informal Design Guidelines for Relational Schemas
    RE-2

    Understand informal design guidelines for relational schemas, including semantics of attributes in relations, redundant information in tuples and update anomalies, NULL values in tuples, and generation of spurious tuples.

  • Functional Dependencies
    RE-3

    Study functional dependencies, including definition, inference rules, Armstrong's axioms, attribute closure, equivalence of functional dependencies, and minimal sets of functional dependencies.

  • Normal Forms Based on Primary Keys
    RE-4

    Explore normal forms based on primary keys, including First Normal Form, Second Normal Form, Third Normal Form, and their general definitions.

  • Boyce-Codd Normal Form
    RE-5

    Learn about Boyce-Codd Normal Form, a higher normal form that ensures a relational schema is in a good structure.

  • Multivalued Dependency and Fourth Normal Form
    RE-6

    Understand multivalued dependency and Fourth Normal Form, which eliminates multivalued dependencies in a relational schema.

  • Properties of Relational Decomposition
    RE-7

    Study properties of relational decomposition, including attribute preservation, dependency preservation, and loss-less/non-additive join.

  • Applications of Recursion
    RE-8

    This topic explores the various applications of recursion in problem-solving, including tree traversals and dynamic programming.

  • Efficiency of Recursion
    RE-9

    This topic discusses the efficiency of recursive algorithms, including time and space complexity analysis.
