This article describes the conversion of our introductory database course from in-classroom teaching to online one. The conversion has been done according to the methodology developed at the very beginning of the planning phase for online teaching. The teaching method has been described as well as the hardware and software used for lectures and lab-work. The paper shows a way how lectures for the first database course can be taught. Additionally, several different possibilities for students to do lab-work online and explain their pros and cons have been discussed. This approach has the advantage that students can make their own choice between different database systems, when exercising.
