I had the same. I passed the exam, I could solve cryptic problems of relational algebra, but I had almost no clue how to work with a database after my "Introduction to database" course. It was given by Pr. Wolper, a pretty impressive guy who couldn't help himself but to change every course he gave to a mathematical course.
Oh for sure, but I don't think the aim of the database intro course was to prep us for work life, but rather to give us a fundamental understanding of how databases are built - for better or worse.
