- EC
| EC 1: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme has insight into the most important technological developments in the field of computer science and the underlying scientific principles. | - EC
| EC 2: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme is able to keep up with the evolution in the field of computer science (and related fields), to evaluate and to acquire new technologies. | - EC
| EC 4: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme takes account of the limitations of computer science, such as the existence of undecidedness and the existence of important unresolved problems in computer science such as the P=NP problem. | - EC
| EC 7: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme is able to analyse and evaluate information in a critical manner and to process this information efficiently. | - EC
| EC 8: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme is able to communicate information, ideas and solutions to an audience of fellow computer scientists and to non-specialists by expressing him or herself on the proper level of abstraction. | - EC
| EC 9: A graduate of the Master of Computer Science programme is able to clearly report both orally and verbally on his or her work in a national and international context. | - EC

In contrast to the course "Databases" where we learned to design and question relational databases, the aim in this course is to gain a good insight into the different implementation aspects of database systems. Specifically, we take a look under the hood of relational database management systems and focus on query and transaction processing: We study the physical building blocks of database systems, including the different types of indices and physical operators. Armed with this knowledge, we study how a typical database system converts given SQL expressions into a logical query plan in the extended relational algebra, optimizes such plans and then selects an appropriate phyic query plan. Finally, we study how a database system can reliably deal with system errors and how it can offer competitive access to multiple users in an efficient way.
