Database Systems | Carnegie Mellon University
Comprehensive study of modern database management systems, covering core concepts, efficiency, and correctness of implementation using a real in-memory, multi-core database system.
Introduction
This course is a comprehensive study of the internals of modern database management systems. It will cover the core concepts and fundamentals of the components that are used in both high-performance transaction processing systems (OLTP) and large-scale analytical systems (OLAP). The class will stress both efficiency and correctness of the implementation of these ideas. All class projects will be in the context of a real in-memory, multi-core database system.
Highlights
