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.
