A few old points I removed from "Advantages" because they didn't seem to fit:

• Location transparency
• Hardware independence
• Distributed DBMS
• Operating system independence
• Network independence
• Replicated transparency
• Distributed transaction management

Some of these are features instead of advantages (like DTM). Distributed DBMS might be a bit pointless unless explained. Some of these might be added again with explanations.

This article also needs a history section. I know that IBM was among the pioneers of distributed databases. Sam Tomato (talk) 20:38, 16 December 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Lists need clear and encyclopedic inclusion criteria (not "some random examples"). Secondly, the lead section should summarize information from the main text, not introduce new information on its own (MOS:LEAD). Also, noteworthy details should be based on independent reliable sources in encyclopedic context, not on self-published websites or other PR platforms.
