The IDC Worldwide Database Management Systems 2009 - 2013 Forecast ranks the Oracle database as the leader in DBMS market share, followed by IBM DB2 and then Microsoft SQL Server. Other niche commercial database software includes SAP-Sybase and Crystal Reports. In most cases, a commercial database will have a FOSS: Free Open Source Free counterpart: Firebird, MySQL, Ingres, and PostgreSQL. Software companies differentiate commercial software products based upon: quality of code, efficient utilization with multiple base operating systems and web servers, integration with its other software products, availability of development platforms, documentation, and support services. Not all databases will have the identical capacity and featureset; nor will a database work equally well with other commercial and open source software. The design and underlying architecture of a database will make it well suited and efficient within a range of volume, data management, transactions, and administrative functions.
IBM Corporation's DB2 UDB essentially has an exclusive franchise on its mainframe hardware and system software. DB2 is competing directly with the Oracle database on other operating system platforms. Starting with DB2 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows, IBM supports Oracle SQL and PL/SQL applications: syntax, locking mechanisms, data types, SQL, procedural language, and client interfaces. IBM provides a minimal cost trial and migration paths to to DB2. DB2 can serve as an engine to the open source MySQL database. DB2 Express-C is available unsupported, free of charge, for unrestricted use in production environments. IBM also uses its established market presence with WAS WebSphere Application Server and industry leading WebSphere MQ middleware to drive sales of the DB2 UDB software. Microsoft Corporation's Access and FoxPro databases predominate on Wintel desktop operating systems. It's strategy for growth is based upon the integration and upgrading from its workstation database software to MS SQL Server. and the investment and popularity of its proprietary programming languages and .NET Framework and development platform. MS SQL Server is the recommended database on its industry leading MS SharePoint Server enterprise content management system. There are reports that Microsoft is working on a new database for Linux and UNIX developed on the PostGreSQL9.0 base code. This new database will be open source under a MS-PL: Microsoft Public License and available free of charge. It also will have a SQL Server emulation layer. Oracle Corporation has grown through acquisition and added to its flagship commercial database with free open source software: MySQL database, Java language, UNIX-Solaris operating system, and GlassFish web server. The Oracle database strategy is based upon providing enhancements and value to its customers through its Exadata software and product options for data compression and performance through both software and hardware. Oracle has two commercial web servers Oracle Application Server and WebLogic Server. WLS: WebLogic Server has been rebranded as Oracle WebLogic Server and is the preferred server in the Oracle Roadmap and Fusion software. The long term plan is a unified database, web server, and development platform. Each company also is developing cloud computing strategies which incorporate and leverage its database management technologies.
The criteria for organizational enterprises to assess database software has evolved to five major areas: 1- Usability 2- Performance and scalability 3- Security 4- Back-end operations 5- Return on investment or cost center accounting. When writing an application, a decision has to be made on which relational database management system to utilize. Once that choice has been made, to a large extent this becomes an investment in information technology infrastructure. Switching to open source software or different commercial database vendors to take advantage of lower prices, an improved technology, or a better partnership is undermined typically by the legacy code which requires extensive rewrite before it can be reused with another relational database system. The ability to design, model, implement, and administer a database is used to provide comparative advantage in relation to the cost structure and services offered by a competitor.
The operational requirements which apply to database management systems are far more extensive and multivariate than either the first generation 1970 hierarchical databases or the relational databases from the mid 1980's. Databases are being used in hybrid combinations with commercial and free open source software specific to the organization's information processing operations. In addition to the standard issues, there are decisions that have to be made with respect to development platforms and scripting for new applications, integration of open source software, and developing a capability for mobile computing devices. Alternatively, information technology operations may be outsourced to cloud computing service providers. Since 1980, SYS-ED has been providing database courses and integrated training programs designed to address the operational objectives of Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, and healthcare providers. SYS-ED teaches and provides guidelines on both commercial database software and the open source alternatives: evaluation, transitioning, and upgrades. The SYS-ED database curriculum is built upon a longstanding and comprehensive knowledge of database and interrelated areas of information technology: scripting, programming languages, development platforms, web servers, and middleware.
SYS-ED courseware combines industry standard content with consultancy derived techniques for managing data and controlling applications. An important component in the delivery of programming skills training was the utilization of courseware: student hand-outs, sample programs, skeleton programs, workshops, and training aids. The classic principles of adult learning are applied to the content, interpreting and translating subject matter into performance objectives, narrative descriptions, and diagrams which explain the architecture, design, and logic of commercial and open source databases. Our courseware library has been incrementally augmented, revised, and maintained. It is highly valued, especially in interrelated areas of information technology. Research and aggregation of information in the public domain on commercial and open source database software and its utilization with development platforms and system software can be reviewed at categorized and software specific SYS-ED websites. Few consulting, let alone training companies, have the experience with databases and the skillset to provide comparable database training services: Structured Query Language, database design, database administration, database programming, Open Database Connectivity, Java Database Connectivity, and specialized database transition courses. |

SYS-ED's courseware library consists of a variety of databases, test data, and sample programs which we utilize as a framework for teaching how to implement, query, code, and administer databases. We have relationships with leading IT text book publishers and technologist text book authors. Industry standard text books are used in conjunction with our own courseware and training aids. The Computer Education Techniques knowledge base is a service for answering questions, inclusive of the research and validation of the accuracy of information in the public domain. Citation of source documentation and examples are used to provide answers to the questions. This information becomes part of our knowledge base and courseware library. Content is selectively added to SYS-ED course hand-outs and training aids.

SYS-ED’s database curriculum have been developed based upon a foundation of classic adult learning theory and the standards of the New York State Department of Education. Information technology infrastructure is becoming increasingly hybrid and comprised of a combination of proprietary and open source software. We extend industry standard database content with diagrams, code snippets, examples, sample data, exercises, from the CETi knowledge base. Information from the Open Source Initiative distributed through the GPL - General Public License is also selectively presented. Industry standard subject matter can be augmented with the course search engine. It is our standard practice to qualify a prospective client's operating environment: web browser, operating system, web server, database, and middleware as part of teaching:
At the client discretion, pre- and post- course validation assessment can be utilized for quantifying mastery of the subject matter. Upon completion of an instructor-led database course at the client location, it is standard policy to organize content for future utilization in a web-based training infrastructure. When SYS-ED can not warranty a superior training outcome, then we will politely turn down an assignment. SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York.. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly. |

Database Training SYS-ED's database courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" database courses provide the framework and skillset across the complete spectrum of operating systems, application software, networking, and web development platforms. 2
Courseware Teaching is Our Only Business Most computer training companies are divisions of large software companies or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for highly motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.
