Modern databases do not have a preset number of fields. Rather, the data architect determines the needed tables and number of fields per table and declares that to the database software. Fields can--with some restrictions--also be added and removed later as needed. That said, each database application does have a maximum limit on the number of fields per table and the number of tables per database, which information has to come from the database manufacturer. But those limits are usually vastly greater than anyone might want. It is part of a computer and it has many fields.

Fields in a library database might include title, author, publication date, genre, ISBN number, availability status, and location in the library. Additional fields could include book summary, shelf number, keywords, and borrower information.
An arbitrary group of fields within a database record. Usually has some meaning in the context of the record. For example a 3-tuple in an address record might be the fields that contain the first, middle and last names of the person in the address field.

A field that might be used in a database about students is "student ID," which is a unique identifier for each student in the database.
1. How might a distributed database designed for a local area network differ from one designed for a wide area network?
Just about anything you can imagine. There are databases that keep track of almost any imaginable piece of data, each of those databases have fields to store the data.
RDBMS stands for Relational Database Management System. RDBMS data is structured in database tables, fields and records. Each RDBMS table consists of database table rows. Each database table row consists of one or more database table fields.RDBMS store the data into collection of tables, which might be related by common fields (database table columns). RDBMS also provide relational operators to manipulate the data stored into the database tables. Most RDBMS use SQL as database query language.
No - a peer to peer network means that every device (even a standalone server) has the same authority in the network. Each device can choose to share resources with other devices in the network. In such a network there really isn't a 'central host' computer, unless you put a file or print or database service on a server that the other devices might want access to.
Computer Weekly has a thorough tutorial available on how to set up a computer network for your small business. The site discusses why you might need a computer network, the benefits of wired versus wireless, and the equipment you will need.
Strictly speaking, no computer 'controls' a network. You will have different devices that do different jobs on a network. Some examples : You might have a DOMAIN CONTROLLER on a Microsoft network that authenticates users of the network (allows users to login and use the network resources). You might have ROUTERS that 'control' what data gets in and out of a network based upon its configuration and which network data might get forwarded to as necessary. You might have SWITCHES that 'control' what data gets sent to which computer based upon an IP address' host bits. You might have a GATEWAY that 'controls' what data passes in and out of a company's internal network onto an external network (such as the Internet) If you want a simple answer then it's probably that a SERVER 'controls' a client-server network.
