This is great. I only wish our computer science program required Databases to graduate, because while learning about thunks and trampolining in PL and writing a disassembler for the M68K were all fun (and required), in the real world the chances are you'll more likely be faced with challenging database problems.
And database gurus tend to be snobs, so if you can't challenge them on an issue because you simply know how to use inner joins and outer joins and don't have a depth of knowledge, they'll bite your head off. Anyone in a position to earn a computer science degree: trade in that exciting independent research course for a course in Databases.
