Advance Database Management Systems : BE [Comp & IT]

   Advance Database Management System is an elective subject introduced into the academics of Computer & IT Final year Engineering of of Pune University. Most of the students run away from ADBMS and choose subjects like Artificial Intelligence and Compiler Design or other subjects as their elective subjects  since DBMS was a bit tough and less scoring subject subject in Third year.

   I feel, most of the students should opt for ADBMS as it really an important subject for your career. Wherever you  go, you will always find Database management very crucial. Almost all corners of technology are connected with database. People, who opt for ADBMS will definitely have an advantage over others when you appear for your campus placements. The questions you will face in your technical interview will   be mostly covering  C, C++, DBMS. So , students who have opted for ADBMS as their elective subject, definitely stay in touch with the DBMS concepts and excel relatively better compared to others. This was my opinion, people who deep interest in other subjects should definitely opt for the subject which makes them  feel comfortable.

   ADBMS, is much different when compared to DBMS, which was more of basic. ADBMS has more of theory when compared with the older one. Here, the concepts are really interesting. People who have interest in DBMS will definitely love Data Warehousing and Data Mining along with OLAP concepts. 

   The problem with ADBMS is that you need to refer more than one reference books to cover the whole syllabus as DBMS by Korth alone will not suffice.
