Database Theory and Design

Today's database programs can be viewed not only as a storage of (meta)linguistics data, but also as an analytical tool. This course is divided into two parts: the first will introduce database theory (types of databases) and their potential for analyzing data, and The second part will focus on designing and implementing a database from the ground up.
