Sorry, that has a similar problem. That "is" equates the uncountable "software" with the single "a program". How about: Database server software handles data and serves it.... or: Database servers are programs that handle data and serve it... > I don't feel like calling MySQL "program" or "application".... So use the first alternative above (although I don't see why not).
