Reading

The innocent reading first. Asked for the database, the Overview gives its host, its scale, its clusters and how to search it.

Findings
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text

Faithful on host and scale. The composition joins the database's stated range to an older case in one sentence, and leaves out the database's own statement of its unit, limits and license.
