Course Objectives

• Master Advanced Database Design: Apply advanced data modeling techniques, optimize database schemas for performance, scalability, and implement complex entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) in large-scale systems.
• Install, Configure, and Manage Multiple DBMS: Install, configure, and manage a variety of database systems (SQL and NoSQL), including MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and cloud-based databases like AWS RDS and Azure SQL, with a focus on performance and security.
• Implement High-Level Security and Compliance: Secure databases by implementing advanced security measures, including encryption, access controls, vulnerability assessments, and compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA.
• Design High Availability and Disaster Recovery Plans: Set up and manage high-availability solutions such as replication, clustering, and failover systems, and develop comprehensive disaster recovery plans to ensure minimal downtime and data integrity.
• Optimize Database Performance at Scale: Utilize advanced performance tuning techniques, such as indexing strategies, partitioning, query optimization, and performance analysis tools, to maintain high performance in large, complex database environments.
• Plan and Implement Database Capacity and Scalability: Strategize for database growth using advanced capacity planning techniques, partitioning, sharding, and both vertical and horizontal scaling methods to ensure efficient resource management.
• Manage Database Migrations and Upgrades: Handle cross-DBMS data migration, upgrade database systems with minimal downtime, and automate data migration and ETL processes, ensuring data consistency across environments.
• Integrate Databases with DevOps and Automation: Implement DevOps principles in database management, automate database deployments, integrate version control for database changes, and streamline workflows using CI/CD pipelines.
• Administer NoSQL and Big Data Solutions: Set up and manage NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Cassandra, and Couchbase, and work with big data platforms like Hadoop and Spark, ensuring optimal performance and storage in non-relational environments.
• Conduct Security Auditing and Penetration Testing: Perform detailed security audits and penetration tests on databases, identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities while ensuring regulatory compliance and implementing robust logging and monitoring solutions.
• Utilize Business Intelligence and Analytics Tools: Integrate databases with business intelligence platforms (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) for data analysis, reporting, and dashboard creation, supporting data-driven decision-making.
• Handle Advanced Data Recovery Scenarios: Master advanced recovery techniques for complex data loss scenarios, including forensic data recovery and rebuilding corrupted databases, ensuring maximum data restoration in critical situations.
• Apply Blockchain and Distributed Database Concepts: Understand and implement blockchain and distributed ledger technologies for data integrity and explore decentralized databases for specific use cases.
• Complete a Comprehensive Final Project: Design, implement, and maintain a complex, highly secure, and scalable database system, covering all aspects from high availability, automation, and performance tuning to disaster recovery.
