Course Database Management System is an important course in computer science field and it is required to understand
Description the information requirement of an organization and to build a database for that organization. It provides a basic
theoretical level of understanding database and creating a computerized database application for a business. The
purpose of this course is to understand real information requirement of a business and to implement that in
computerized database application. This course is designed to give a thorough understanding of databases. It
enables students to practically deal with database related issues based on solid concepts and theory.
