All things DBMS...

Setup the database. Make sure it is working properly.

In ./server/utils/dbms in the package is a file named 
'intranet_logger_create_tables.sql'. It will create the tables needed to work
with the rest of the system. Again, if you make changes to the names of the
tables or fields without modifying the 'prep...' scripts and 'load_tables'
you will likely break the system's ability to process the logs or make the
log entries invisible to the system altogether.

Beyond setting up the database, there is really nothing more to do until it is
time to develop the system further.
