Also offered as: BAN 330.

The study of computer-based information systems which allow for the storage of data through functions such as creating, reading, updating, and deleting. A database management system reduces data redundancy, ensures data integrity, and provides for data security. Topics include: multidimensional databases and data cubes, data types and data validation; data normalization and data extraction; entity relationships, and structured query language. Data storage and public sources of data will be discussed and software will be used to apply the concepts learned in class.
