Course aims to introduce students with the open source tools and techniques of data analysis and data storage. Particular attention is paid to storing scientific data and constructing databases supporting scientific research.
Basics in programming languages and programming
The course contents provides the basic knowledge on structure and workin schemes of SQL database systems. In praticular, the following problems will be discussed:
- Data model construction,
- Data relations: primary keys/foreign keys and the relations types (O2M, O2O, M2M),
- SQL introduction with the usage of open source SQL engines: PostgreSQL, MySQL,SQLite,
- Programmers interfaces to SQL engines (C++, Python, PHP),
- Object relational mapping (ORM),
- Databases in web applications: CMS,
- Non-SQL databases types.
Computer lab, discussions, individual students readings of technical documentation and searching for information on the web.

The condition for passing the laboratory is realization of two projects planned for implementation as part of the laboratory program and obtaining positive grades from reports describing projects:
- project of a database storing data on the scientific results of the unit's employees with a report prepared in the LaTex system (35% of the grade)
- project and implementation of a database that records the results of a multi-center research project
(data from experiments, analytical system, project management tools) with a report prepared in the LaTex system (65% of the grade)
