Abstract

Database management is a new and fast growing discipline within computer science. Curriculum 68 did not include database management in its recommended courses. With the advent of large direct access secondary storage devices to hold large volumes of information referred to as a database and with the need to manage that storage efficiently and conveniently, there has developed the computer science discipline of database management. This paper describes a course in database management, including a course catalog overview, course outline, and bibliography. This paper could serve as a guideline for future ACM Curriculum Committee on Computer Science recommendation in database management.
