What's the difference in usage between 电脑diànnǎo (electric brain) and 计算机 jìsuànjī (calculate calculate machine)? As far as I can see, jìsuànjī is used in more technical contexts like 计算机 程序员 jìsuànjī chéngxùyuán (computer programmer) whereas diànnǎo is for more everyday uses like 个人电脑 gèréndiànnǎo (personal computer).

[Demonic_Duck]

Pretty much. 计算机 is more formal and used in more technical contexts.

Also @OP, have you seen all of those words in real-world usage? Most look fine, but I've never once seen anything other than 数据库 used for DB (in mainland China).
