Great article. Interesting historical perspective. Someone must have had a crystal ball looking into the future.

Niall,

As far as the SERVICE_NAMES parameter, I'm not sure why the document likes to identify each of the instances/nodes as separate services (i.e. CHICAGO1, CHICAGO2, BOSTON1, BOSTON2, etc). Personally, I've always tended to match the SERVICE_NAMES to the DB_NAME, unless I'm trying to do something fancy like host multiple applications within ...

Jeremy Schneider has a good paper on the history and use of SERVICE_NAMES
