For this course it is best to be able to take notes in some sort of graphic utility in order to draw all the pictures he puts up on the board. Of course, if you’re not used to such a program, then obviously a good ol piece of pen and paper will do just fine too. However, I take all my notes in Microsoft’s OneNote™. If you want a copy of these notes, you can get them here. Otherwise I’ll make several posts of these notes as I upload them.

The topics however will be as follows:
- Basic Concepts of Database Systems
- Databases
- Design of a Simple Database
- Identifying Identities and Relationships
- The Entity-Relationship Database Model
- Integrity Constraints
- Quantifiers in Predicate Calculus
- Views in Relational Systems
- Deductive Databases
- Deductive View
