A small nonprofit provides short term loans for those who need it in their neighborhood area. They need a database to track donations and grants. They have a small network of about 5 computers.

Question 2

Accidental threats are as great a danger to a database as intentional ones.

Answer to Question 1

One should consider what is compatible with their current systems, especially since they are unlikely to be able to afford expensive upgrades. Also, ease of use is an issue, given their lack of training and experience. The windows operating system is not much of a limit since most open source database management systems will work on Windows as well as other operating systems but some newer versions may need more power and more current versions of the Operating System.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
