Big Data and Data Processing
Database management systems are critical to businesses and organizations. They provide an efficient method for handling different types of data in the era of big data. A university database, for example, stores millions of student and course records. The relational database management system ensures that the university can define entity relationships and logically maintain its data over time.

Entity Relationship Model to Relational Model
We live in an era where data is the critical factor in decision-making. To provide that critical factor, we must be able to extract data from database management systems. This week, you will learn how Entity Relationship (ER) models visually show the various entities (tables) and the relationships between them. You are also provided with an introduction to SQL, the standard language for relational database management systems.

Great course. One start subtracted because many of the assignment materials were not covered at all in the course. Lots of time googling what might be meant in the exercises.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
- The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
- The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
Is financial aid available?
Yes, Coursera provides financial aid to learners who cannot afford the fee. Apply for it by clicking on the Financial Aid link beneath the "Enroll" button on the left. You’ll be prompted to complete an application and will be notified if you are approved. Learn more.
