DBTech VET Teachers Project
               SQL TransactionAlWays *
            One-day  workshop  on  SQL  Transactions
          Thursday 10 April 2014, Thessaloniki, Greece

---

DBTech VET Teachers is the third (3rd) DBTechNet project to receive financial support from the European Union. The one-day workshop comprises a sequel to analogous events organised by the University of Malaga in Spain, and by the HAAGA-HELIA University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki, Finland. The character and the content of each one DBTech VET event is shaped by the current stage of the project. In this respect, the Thessaloniki workshop differs from the Helsinki one in that the hands-on laboratory session is scheduled to utilise both the morning as well as the afternoon sessions; there will be no theoretical introduction (tutorial) part to it. 

Target audiences include VET teachers/trainers, ICT professionals, HE graduates and students with a keen interest and motivation in database technology applications. Participation is open and free. Online registration is required due to the limitation in the number of seats available. On the day of the workshop, participants will be assumed to: 

• have already become familiar with the concepts and the technology that comprise the topic of the pilot DBTech VET course entitled "SQL Transactions", and
  
• have read and followed the directions listed in the "Info Corner" page.
  

The learning objectives of the one-day workshop, when combined with the DBTech VET "SQL Transactions" educational and training content, have as follows:

1. describe the concepts and practices involved in the implementation of  transaction concurrency control policies in the modern database management system, 
   
2. compare and contrast a number of popular RDBMS environments with respect to the technology utilised in the implementation of transaction concurrency control policies and techniques,
   
3. write transactional programming code with an attitude of enforcing zero tolerance to incorrect data,
   
4. demonstrate transaction concurrency anomalies and the degree to which they are dealt with by implementing transaction isolation levels and good programming practices in today's popular database management system environments, and
   
5. teach the relevant concepts, techniques and skills at the vocational training and/or higher education level, in the form of a database technology course module.
