Database Management Systems

One Language, Multiple Paradigms

Modern data work demands flexibility. You'll design database models first—the blueprint before code. Then you'll implement them three different ways: relational databases (SQL's structured world), NoSQL (document stores, key-value systems), and hands-on experience with multiple technologies.

Why This Breadth Matters

A single course could stay in SQL. This one teaches you _when_ to leave SQL behind—when document flexibility beats rigid tables, when a graph database outperforms both. You'll make these tradeoff decisions as an informed engineer, not a guess.
