A brain - and it is not a simple device.
It was assisted by an abacus, but without a brain an abacus would not have been much use!

Yes you can. You can create queries that do calculations. You can write code for programs to do calculations in a database. Doing calculations is a significant element of what you do with a database, so yes you can do them within a database.
When you perform all mathematical calculations on a problem, it is often referred to as "solving" the problem. This involves applying relevant mathematical operations and techniques to arrive at a definitive answer or conclusion. In some contexts, it may also be described as "completing" the calculations or "working through" the problem systematically.
No, it is not.
ENIAC, one of the earliest electronic general-purpose computers, could perform approximately 5,000 calculations per second. This was a significant achievement for its time, as it dramatically increased the speed of computation compared to earlier mechanical devices. Despite its capabilities, ENIAC was still relatively slow by modern standards, as contemporary computers can perform billions of calculations per second.
Formulas are mathematical instructions that perform calculations.

You can use queries to delete records and queries to perform calculations.
The abacus was invented by the ancient Chinese people and was used to perform mostly mathematical calculations. In Japan, even to this day, the abacus is still used for simple calculations. Many people consider the abacus the first "computer" or at least the first calculator.
Income tax return calculators perform its calculations just like you would by following the directions from the IRS. However, these calculations are preset and all you need to do is put in your numbers.
They could only perform basic calculations.
