Module summary
Module name Databases and Communication Networks 1
Internal number MKIB320
Coordinator Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Vogelsang
Extent 7 ECTS points / 6 Contact hours
Semester 3rd Semester
Pre-requisites with regard to content Theoretical Computer Science, Mathematics 1, Computer Science 1
Pre-requisites according to the examination regulations none
Competencies The students know the current models of communication and database technology and are able to classify and evaluate unknown, e.g. new systems. They are familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of different architectures and will be considered when selecting the architecture for their own products. In the database area, they are largely familiar with the SQL-92 standard and are able to select, set up and safely operate database systems. The students are able to analyze given facts, to transfer these facts into a normalized data model, to create this data model under SQL and to use the resulting SQL databases under object-oriented languages. In the field of communication networks, students know the individual layers of the TCP/IP layer model and understand the tasks and service models of each layer. They can characterize and compare different protocols of each layer. They can analyze the requirements of a given application, select the most suitable protocols for that application, and combine them into a functioning network stack. You can also use the client-server approach and socket programming techniques to solve your own problems.
Assessment Written Exam 120 Min. (graded)

Extent (ECTS/SWS) 3/2	Assessment Laboratory Work 1 Semester (not graded)
Content Adatabase application for a flight reservation system is designed and prototypically implemented. This includes setting up a DB scheme, the design and testing of SQL queries, the use of transactions and transaction levels, as well as programming a seat reservation transaction with Java, JDBC and SQLJ-based on Oracle.
