Notes:
* PR = Project Report
* PHW = programming homework
* HW = other homework
* Q = quiz *likely*; a Q entry above is neither a necessary nor a
  sufficient condition for a quiz actually being offered on that date.
* S1 = supplemental reading 1: A Critique of ANSI SQL Isolation Levels
* Unqualified numbers in the material due column refer to sections
  in the textbook; section x.0 refers to the text that begins chapter x.  
  Note that the last two sections of each chapter typically are a
  summary and a list of references (and thus short).   
* Material within square brackets ([..]) is recommended, but not required
* We're covering topics not in the textbook order, but in an order
  that tries to (1) introduce material required for project decisions
  early and (2) covers database programming before database design.
* Project demos are to be scheduled for a 1-hour timeslot on the 14th
  or 15th of December, by arrangement with the instructor.  If no
  suitable time can be found on these dates, students can schedule the
  demo for any *earlier* date, also by arrangement with the
  instructor.
