You can visit these links. The first two contain only freeware products and the others contain shareware as well, but they have a large database!

Your question is pretty open-ended... And you got so many questions here! :)\n\nClassification of database server... There are usually four classes that I see: desktop, multi-user, client-server, cluster-server. Those may not be the formal terms used in the industry, BTW. As I did not read YOUR text, I may have a different system of classification than your text, so... caveat emptor! :)\n\ndesktop -- your typical single user database, Access, Paradox, Filemaker, etc. \n\nMulti-user -- most of these programs will also work with multiple users when installed and configured on a network. \n\nClient-server -- A dedicated server program, that talks to SQL clients over a network. Examples are MS SQL Server, Oracle 9i, and so on. \n\nCluster-Server -- a database server that runs on a GROUP of servers (i.e. a cluster) \n\nWhere are they used? Anywhere there is data! Accounting system has a database system as its foundation. All Customer Relations Management (CRM) software are basically databases. A mailing list is a database, so is an addressbook, a phonelist, and so on. Most websites (such as this Yahoo Answers site) that requires interaction has a database backend where answers and questions and user data are stored. \n\nCommunication between the client and the server: there is no "standard" per se for those communications. Microsoft tried to impose a standard way back when, and with a little help from third-party the standard, known as ODBC (open database connectivity) actually stuck. Basically it defined a set of SQL commands that a database must minimally support. In other cases, the communication between client and server is that database's proprietary information. \n\nAdvantages? A database basically makes finding something easier. Say you want to check who among your clients are in California, or more specifically, northern California, you can find out by tapping a few commands, instead of going through each and every client record. For a short list there wouldn't be much difference, but the longer the list, the bigger the time savings. When the entry is a few thousand lines long, it is no longer practical to do by hand, and just imagine the size of a database used by the IRS to keep track of your tax info! The more complicated databases can also handle permissions, giving some people ability to enter but not delete, others view only, and so on and so forth. \n\nDisadvantage? Database usually cost money, at least the commercial ones. And most have a proprietary format and special commands that require expertise to use. You will need someone to set it up, then populate the data, and you will need\nsomeone to administer it later. It is another layer of complexity and expense. A database server that works well demands hefty hardware. We're not talking $500 desktops here, but rather $10000 dedicated servers armed with dual or quad Xeons / Opterons and 5-7 disk RAID arrays, and we haven't counted the software itself yet!

Any application that doesn't need persistent data.  You only use a database if you need to store data between runs of a program, and that data needs to be stored in a way that requires specialized access for searching and/or reporting.  Otherwise, even if a program requires loading/storing data of some sort, simple files might do a better job.\n\nYou don't use a sledgehammer to kill a mosquito.  DBs add a great deal of overhead to a system.  You only use them if they're necessary.

Just go into detail on what applications are used by which department.\n\nEg.  computerised accounts package - accounts \n\npurchase ordering - purchasing/stores\n\nSales - sales staff\n\nMOS - IT\n\ngeneral office applications - admin\n\nOr you could go into the types of systems that employees and management use at different levels:\n\nTransaction Process Systems - Supervisors\nManagement Information Systems - department heads\nExecutive Information systems - Senior management.  \n\nTry these pages for more information: \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_Processing_Systems\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_information_system\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decision_Support_System\n\nHope this helps!  x

You may enumerate their netbios names, provided they're configured to support netbios (that is generaly the case). See the link below.

I'm not sure what youm mean by electronic database, but why not use Microsoft Access?

You are not going to find out this information on Yahoo. You will need someone who works at IBM's tech center to explain how they setup their data warehousing.\n\nI would like to help more, but I am afraid this is the best answer you can get. Maybe if you ask a more general data warehousing question you will get a better response.

Goto borland.com or oracle.com and look at the success stories link. It tells you which customers are using what systems to get their IT infrastructure going.

Try:\nI'm assuming MS Access 2000 and not MS SQL Server 2000?\n\nSELECT *\nFROM [ProdServers]\nORDER BY [Server Name/OS/DNS Alias]

My guess is MySQL from looking at the front page of mysql.com.  I doubt they have only 1 solution for their entire company though.
