Course Goal / Objective
The objective of this course is to introduce students how to store and access data efficiently in secondary storage devices such as disk, CD, etc. and also to make abstraction of real life data using entity relationship model for efficient processing.
Course Content
Overview of storage and indexing. Disks and files. Redundant array of independent disks (RAID) systems. Disk space management. Files of records. Tree structured indexing (ISAM, B+ trees). Hash-based indexing (static hashing, extendible hashing, linear hashing). Secondary key retrieval (k-d trees, grid files). External sorting. Data abstraction using entity relationship model. Introduction to database management systems concepts.
