I am pleased to welcome you to Introduction to Databases, an introductory course on the basics of data management. The course focuses on the widespread relational model, in which data is organised in tables.
I am Dr Paolo Guagliardo and I will be the main lecturer for this course. You can find out more about my professional activities and research interests on my personal webpage.
I wish you a productive time on the course throughout the semester, and I hope you will enjoy what you will be learning.
Sincerely, Dr Paolo Guagliardo
