tasks number in the comment lines for each sub-task. For example,
/* Task 1.1 */
1. Add a new constraint in the table Department so that the value of manager# should
refer to the column e# in the table Employee. Add a new department record of which
number is 6, name is Research Centre, manager# is 00271, he will start the job
from 01/06/2016. The managers name is Garret, who was born on 10/04/1980,
