Database Design & ER Modeling: Master the principles of Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling, converting ER diagrams into efficient relational schemas.
SQL Proficiency: Write, optimize, and troubleshoot complex SQL queries, including joins, subqueries, and advanced SQL functions.
Data Integrity & Normalization: Understand and implement data integrity constraints, and normalize databases to 1NF, 2NF, 3NF, and BCNF to optimize database performance.
File Organization & Indexing: Learn various file organization techniques (heap, sorted, hashed) and implement indexing (B-trees, hash indexing) to enhance query performance.
Transactions & Concurrency Control: Grasp the fundamentals of ACID properties, manage transactions, and ensure data consistency with effective concurrency control mechanisms.
Query Optimization: Explore and apply query optimization techniques, including cost-based optimization and execution plan analysis, to improve database query performance.
