Taipalus, Toni; Siponen, Mikko; Vartiainen, Tero – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2018
SQL is taught in almost all university level database courses, yet SQL has received relatively little attention in educational research. In this study, we present a database management system independent categorization of SQL query errors that students make in an introductory database course. We base the categorization on previous literature,…

Tobias, Christine – Journal of Library & Information Services In Distance Learning, 2017
The Michigan State University (MSU) Libraries' Website has a case of TMI: too much information organized by librarians for librarians. Finding relevant information about various library services, including the 24/7 Distance Learning Support Line, and access points to scholarly resources is often cumbersome, and given the limited time and staffing…

Geng, Lihua – Higher Education Studies, 2011
In the process of textbook management of universities, the flow of storage, collection and check of textbook is quite complicated and daily management flow and system also seriously constrains the efficiency of the management process. Thus, in order to combine the information management model and the traditional management model, it is necessary…

Individuals in contact with the criminal justice system are a key population of concern to public health. Record linkage studies can be useful for studying health outcomes for this group, but the use of aliases complicates the process of linking records across databases. This study was undertaken to determine the impact of aliases on sensitivity…

Bosc, Patrick; Dubois, Didier; Prade, Henri – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1998
For about 10 years, several proposals to deal with ill-known information in database management systems have been made, and extensions of the relational data model have been proposed. An overview of functional dependencies is provided, and the connection between fuzzy functional dependencies and database design is discussed. (AEF)
