Hi,
A SERVICE is a nicer looking name than a SID. Besides, you want to be in a position to change the SID, or move the SERVICE to a different SID without your users knowing it. A SERVICE also allows users to connect to a set of instances when using RAC.
For more info, see "Connectivity Concepts" in the Oracle Net Services Administrator's Guide.
Best regards.
Frank
