This course provides an introduction to relational databases. We strongly encourage Bachelor Informatik or Bachelor Wirtschaftsinformatik students to participate in the accompaning SQL Lab (which will focus on some of the practical lecture topics). This course is a module consisting of two parts. The first part will grant you 1 credit point for getting at least 50% of all homework points. Passing the exam at the end of the semester will grant you 4 credit points. You need to pass both parts to complete the module.

Your homework has to be turned in until the due date indicated on top of the the current assignment, before the lecture starts. Please work together in groups of two students, larger groups are not permitted. Write your names and matriculation numbers on each page of your homework. If you have multiple pages, staple them together! Please drop your solutions into the homework box at our institute (Informatikzentrum, second floor, next to room 238) or hand them over to us right before the lecture begins. The tutorial groups will start in the third course week.

There are multiple places where you have to register in order to attend in this lecture:

1. The registration form(link removed) for this lecture and the SQL Lab. Here you can choose your preferred tutorium dates, your preferred teammate and you can choose if you attend RDB, the SQL-Lab, or both. The time slots you can choose from are for both RDB1 exercises (first half of the time) and for SQL-Lab (second half of the time), i.e. you choose single tutorial slot for RDB1 and/or SQL-Lab. We will use this tool to assign you an exercise partner and a tutorial slot.
2. The homework management system. Here our hiwis enter the score of your submitted homeworks. (both for RDB and the SQL-Lab)
3. The Stud.IP lecture page. Here you can discuss the lecture material in the forums, and allows us to send important notifications.

Your submitted homework will be discussed in weekly tutoriums. The dates for these tutoriums are:
