M888 - Databases in enterprise systems

I find interesting a course of The Open University, at postgraduate level, that talks about databases in the enterprise. The course covers ODBC and JDBC, the some popular persistence frameworks (e.g. Java EE, .NET, Hibernate, Toplink) and SQL/J (a multi-part specification for using SQL with Java). The course covers even web application frameworks (e.g. ASP.NET, PHP). This course probably is useful to have a general understanding a the possible solutions availables on the market; thus I think is more for software architect than programmers.
