Just a quick reply to this.
You are, in fact, formulating the sort of request which would be input to a corporate data architecture. We have built such a thing, and it includes the issues you refer to. More importantly, we have identified

I'll throw in my *very expensive free* comments...
This begins to create the corporate metadata and architecture as Peter mentions. We are on this road, and there are several tools that can do *auto discovery*. There are some very nice tools on the m

starting something new. Unless I'm missing something, what you describe

I was thinking about putting together a database that contains a list of
DBAs, servers, databases, and applications. The database would be used
by the Helpdesk and Management to see who is responsible for a given
