Examples, activities, clippings & cases used
 Students will be made to go through a sample data collection at the beginning. They
will gather information for a specific assignment in their respective domains (e.g.
Bank Statement, Electricity/Telephone Bills) and store it without using databases and
further elaborating the problems they incurred in the absence of appropriate tools and
After few lectures, they will be asked to repeat same task using databases in order to
compare two approaches and gather the benefits of using databases.
 An example of "school management system" will be taken and usage of DBMS
software "Edu Smart" will be demonstrated to have knowledge of various queries
such as creating a table, inserting a value etc used in databases.
 A link "http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/models-of-database-management-
systems-dbms.html#lesson" would be shared to gather examples related to all data
models.
 An example of account opening in a bank, facebook will be discussed to understand
the structure of DBMS.
