Why isn’t this a Database Class?

Why isn’t this a Database Class?
Almost all AIS are built using database technology!
Almost all IS are built using database technology!
Shouldn’t we be learning how to design, build, query databases? Design - Yes
You should understand the importance of proper design of databases (using 3NF) to eliminate common data/information errors if not designed properly.
Build – No Not many accountants will actually be tasked with
building a database, that’s what the IT folks are for Query – Maybe
Like build above, most queries will be designed by the IT folks, but you should understand how they are built and how to use them.
