Answer to Question 1

A database management system (DBMS) is a program used to create, process, and administer a database. The first function of DBMS is that database developers use the DBMS to create tables, relationships, and other structures in the database. The second function of the DBMS is to process the database. Applications use the DBMS for four operations: to read, insert, modify, or delete data. A third DBMS function is to provide tools to assist in the administration of the database. Popular DBMS products are DB2 from IBM, Access and SQL Server from Microsoft, and Oracle from Oracle Corporation. Another popular DBMS is MySQL, an open source DBMS product that is license-free for most applications.

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.
