Answer to Question 1

A sequence is an Oracle Database object that generates a sequential series of unique numbers. It allows the developer to specify the sequence's starting value and increment. Sequences are useful for specifying surrogate keys. The sequence methods CurrVal and NextVal may be used to access the row with the current sequence number and the next sequence number respectively. Using sequences, however, does not guarantee valid surrogate key values. For example, there is nothing that forces the surrogate key field to use the numbers generated by the sequence; therefore, a record may be inserted that does not follow the sequence. This means code must be written to control surrogate key values when sequences are used. Nonetheless, sequences are the best way to work with surrogate keys in Oracle Database.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
