COURSE DESCRIPTION

This three day core course introduces the critical concepts of geodatabase use, design, and implementation including both Esri GeoDatabase principles as well as relational database management systems (RMDS). Students will learn the principles of database normalization, how to design and document database schemas to capture logical semantic structures, and geodatabase rules to capture complex spatial relationships between various data elements. A sound understanding of these concepts are key to successful spatial visualization, analysis, management, and distribution from desktop to enterprise and web solutions.

Prerequisite is GIS 0110.
