Re: Request for Peer Reviews: Oracle Services Research Paper

 Jeremy hi,
This is very first text about services I could find. Very informative about little known area. Oracle is recently putting quite a lot of emphasis on services.
Article is bit dry and long - I would put more step-by-step experiments/instructions/examples and less of descriptive narration. For example, instead of saying:
*This service relocation is **independent of any existing connections to the database;**relocating a service will not disconnect the old node's **existing connections (unless you explicitly pass the -**F **flag to **SRVCTL when you relocate the service).*
give actual example and command.

More about practical aspects/possible uses.

English is my second language but *offer *below doesn't look right to me. p 7 Oracle-based distributed database systems are *offer* a sophisticated solution for complex data sharing needs.

Take out obvious:
(Synonyms are important so that you don't have to update all of your code!)

I would not say -
*though it won't benefit code that modifies **data (which admittedly is most code).*
SELECTs are probably more prevalent - but neither is measured/proven.

Regards, Ranko.
