At the end of a term, a student should have at least 50% of points that he or she could obtain during the term; that means at least 20 points out of 40.
Plagiarism and not allowed cooperation will cause that involved students are not classified and disciplinary action can be initiated.

2. Spatial and XML databases -  creation of spatial databases via Oracle Locator/Spatial, spatial data storage and indexing, queries over spatial data; creation of XML databases in Oracle, XML data queries using Oracle via JDBC
3. Temporal and deductive databases - introduction to languages (A)TSQL2 as a temporal DML/DDL, queries over temporal data via (A)TSQL2; introduction to deductive databases, data definition via explicit and infer-able predicates in DBMS XSB, queries in deductive databases
4. Project demonstration

Syllabus - others, projects and individual work of students:

1. Creation and feature demonstration of database in a post-relational database system (used spatial, multimedia, temporal, or deductive DBS, or their mutual combination)

The aim of course is to give a broader introduction into
post-relational database systems (object-relational, temporal, spatial, deductive multimedia, and XML). Various systems and their implementation techniques are
discussed.

• Mid-term exam - written form, questions, where answers are given in full
  sentences, no possibility to have a second/alternative trial. (20 points)
  
• Projects realization - 1 project (program development according
  to a given specification) with appropriate documentation. (20 points)
• Final exam is performed in written form. Students are given questions, where answers are provided in full
  sentences. The maximal amount of points one can get is 60 points - the minimal number of points which must be obtained from the final exam is 25, otherwise,
  no points will be assigned to a student. The exam has one regular and two corrective periods. Regular period is always performed in fully written way only.  Corrective periods can be performed either in fully written form or in a combined form (both written and verbal performance in a single day, written in the morning verbal in the afternoon). The form of corrective periods is announced as soon as the previous period is evaluated, while the combined form will be performed in the case when for the particular period is assigned no more than 16 students.
