Course in standard java and/or entreprise java programming and/or frameworks used in the most java projects. The course takes place in a theoretical course format, followed by small practical exercises and will be finalized by a mini-project that encompasses all that is seen in the course. We use the n-tier architecture under heavy applications or web applications.

Module 1: SQL Overview Outlining SQL as the cornerstone of database activity Applying the ANSI/ISO standards Describing the fundamental building blocks: tables, columns, primary keys, and foreign keys Module 2: Building the Database Schema - Creating tables and columns Building tables with CREATE TABLE Modifying table structure with ALTER TABLE Adding columns to an existing table Removing tables with DROP TABLE - Protecting data integrity with constraints Guaranteeing uniqueness with primary key constraints Enforcing integrity with foreign key constraints Imposing business rules with check constraints - Improving performance with indexes Expediting data retrieval with indexes Recommending guidelines for index creation Module 3: Manipulating Data - Modifying table contents Adding table rows with INSERT Changing row content with UPDATE Removing rows with DELETE - Applying transactions Controlling transactions with COMMIT and ROLLBACK Deploying BEGIN TRANSACTION in SQL Server Module 4: Working with the SELECT Statement - Writing Single Table queries Retrieving data with SELECT Specifying column expressions Sorting the result with ORDER BY Handling NULL values in expressions - Restricting rows with the WHERE filter Testing for equality or inequality Applying wildcard characters Avoiding NULL value pitfalls Module 5: Querying Multiple Tables - Applying the ANSI/ISO standard join syntax Matching related rows with INNER JOIN Including nonmatched rows with OUTER JOIN Creating a Cartesian product with CROSS JOIN - Combining results with set operators Stacking results with UNION Identifying matching rows with INTERSECT Utilizing EXCEPT to find nonmatching rows Module 6: Employing Functions in Data Retrieval - Processing data with row functions Conditional formatting with the CASE expression Utilizing the CASE expression to simulate IF tests Dealing with NULL values - Performing analysis with aggregate functions Summarizing data using SUM, AVG and COUNT Finding the highest/lowest values with MAX and MIN Defining the summary level with GROUP BY Applying filter conditions with HAVING Module 7: Constructing Nested Queries - Applying subqueries in filter conditions Creating correlated vs. noncorrelated subqueries Testing the existence of rows - Including subqueries in expressions Placing subqueries in the column list Creating complex expressions containing subqueries Handling subqueries that return no rows Module 8: Developing In-Line and Stored Views - Breaking down complex problems Selecting data from a query result set Using subqueries in the FROM clause - Creating views in a database Building reusable code Creating updateable vs. non-updateable views
