The ability to retrieve and manipulate data stored in
large, enterprise databases is foundational to Business Analytics. GBAC 7212 provides you with
knowledge and hands-on experience with commercial-grade Database Management Systems (DBMSs), the
software that manages most of structured business data stored in your organization. You will
learn to navigate large databases using Entity Relation Diagrams (ERDs), access and manipulate data
using the Structured Query Language (SQL), and create queries and reports that answer business
questions. In class we will also review data warehousing (DW) techniques and business
intelligence tools.
