Spatial Databases
Semester: 1st | Compulsory | ECTS: 7.5
Course: Geoinformatics
Module leader: Zafeiropoulos Anastasios
Module Objectives
The course aims to familiarize graduate students (PGs) with spatial databases. During the semester, the PGs prepare a series of laboratory exercises relating to the creation of an ER model and familiarise themselves with Database Management Systems such as MS Access.
Course Contents
The course includes the following modules: Databases and Database Management Systems, Design and Implementation of Database Systems, the SQL language, Spatial Databases, Entity / Relationship (ER) Model, Commercial and Open Source Geographic Database Management Systems.
Teaching and Assessment
The course includes two-hour lectures and a number of laboratory exercises. The selection, preparation and delivery of projects is submitted at the end of the semester.
