Learn SQL and Database Design

In the Programmer Analyst – LEA.9C Program at CDI College, database design and SQL play an important role in building complete and functional applications. Students learn how to organize information, structure data logically, and work with databases using queries.

This part of the program helps students understand how data is stored, managed, and used within an information system, as well as how applications interact with databases.

Understand Data Logic and Relational Design

Students learn how to design databases using a structured approach. This includes the ability to:

• analyze information requirements;
• organize data to avoid duplication;
• understand tables and relationships;
• apply design rules that support data consistency.

These concepts form the foundation of relational databases and are essential in programming.

Use SQL to Query and Manage Data

The program includes learning how to use SQL to query and manipulate data. Students learn to:

• query a database;
• retrieve data based on specific criteria;
• organize and manipulate results;
• maintain data quality and consistency.

These skills support the development of reliable and well-structured applications.

Work with Industry-Used Database Environments

Students work with database management environments covered in the program, including MySQL and SQL Server. This hands-on exposure helps them understand database structures and execute queries in different contexts.

A Transferable Skill Across the Program

Database skills are integrated throughout the program, including application development and integration projects. By mastering database design and usage, students strengthen their ability to build coherent and functional software solutions.
