BUAN 655 Database Management
To compete in a data-driven world, data analytic skills and database skills are key. Before data is analyzed, correct data first needs to be chosen and pulled from a database within your organization or your client’s organization. While the term big data is influenced by the rise of unstructured data (no-SQL database), structured data (SQL/relational database) remains a large and important component because structured data is driven by business processes and workflows. This course mainly focuses on process-driven/structured data and a relational database. This course is not designed to develop database building skills. A large focus of this course is placed on an understanding of database schema (or how business data is collected in relation to other business data) and SQL coding techniques for selecting the right data for the purpose of further analysis.
