For HA-Dat students

This course DM26 Database Systems doubles as the course Databaser for HA-Dat students. To keep the wording simple, the material on the website of the course will in general be phrased in terms of the DM26 course, and all differences between the courses will be collected here. The differences are:

  • The HA-Dat version of the course is only 5 ECTS (not 7.5), and will only use approximately 2/3 of the lectures and exercise classes (the first 2/3). More precisely, HA-Dat participants are expected to follow the course until we have passed Chapter 14. The last HA-Dat lecture will be stated on the weekly notes when approaching. However, all students are free to follow all lectures, if desired - knowledge of the remaining chapters will further improve your abilities to use a database efficiently.

  • The project project will constitute the examination for the HA-Dat version of the course (no oral exam). For HA-Dat students, the project will be evaluated according to the 13-scale (instead of passed/not passed). The project will also be slightly different, as described in this addendum to project for HA-Dat students.

  • HA-Dat students may (but are not required to) use MySQL instead of PostgreSQL, and for the project write a web-application using PHP instead of a command-line application using Java.

  • The official course description for the HA-Dat version of the course is different, and can be found here.
