You can (and should) use other books and online material to supplement the textbooks whenever necessary. Primarily since this course is not simply about databases, but about the effective use of databases in business, and development of database applications. As such, I will be using focusing part of the class on the process of developing database applications using Java, JDBC and JSP. I will not be teaching you how to write code in Java, but expect that you already know how to do it. If you do not know Java, you may want to pick up a Java book and pick up as much as you can by mid-quarter when the programming project will start.
The primary software that we will use in this course is Oracle. If you have your own computer, I would expect you to install the personal edition of Oracle 10g - I will show part of the process in class. If you do not have access to your own computer, please see me about getting an account on a central unix server which has Oracle installed (unfortunately its only Oracle 8i) and you can use that account for this class. However, I strongly recommend installing Oracle yourself, which will give you a good idea about some of the administration aspects that we will learn in this class. You may need some other software for developing the project application, some of the following may be useful:
