Data management

What it covers

This unit introduces the principles of data management through the design, implementation, and use of relational databases. It develops foundational skills in modelling data, translating real-world requirements into sound relational designs, and implementing those designs in an enterprise-scale database system. You will learn how to define schemas, enforce integrity, manage transactions, and retrieve and update data using declarative query languages, while also developing an awareness of the broader data-management landscape beyond the relational model. Through practical database design and querying tasks, the unit builds the discipline required to manage data accurately, responsibly, and in ways that support future work in software projects, analytics, and large-scale systems.
