I do not agree that NewSQL vendors focus on giving scale-out features to transactional data. The NewSQL market is focusing on giving true ACID support combined with extreme performance, stepping away from the traditional relational structures in databases. A lot of developers appreciate the ease of accessing data using SQL and I think we will see more and more databases supporting standard SQL. As you said - NewSQL databases often maintain the...

Coming Soon on Sky Poker...The 600 Millionth Hand

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 11/22/12 -- Join Sky Poker now as they celebrate another millionth milestone. With every passing minute, Sky Poker gets closer to dealing its 600 millionth hand, and to celebrate they are giving away GBP 100 to every customer that hits a milestone hand along the way!

So what are these milestone hands? Well the winner of the 590 millionth hand will receive a GBP 100 cash bonus prize, as well as the winners of each millionth hand after that. So if you win the 591st millionth hand, the 592nd millionth hand, the 593rd millionth hand (and so forth) up until the 600 millionth hand, you will also pocket GBP 100!

Winners of the 600 millionth hand itself will win an extra special prize, with details yet to be disclosed by the online poker room. However, what can be guaranteed is that it's a prize every poker player in the UK will want to win!

To be eligible for this promotion, each player must have earned 50 poker points or more during the month that the hand lands. You can view your online poker points in "My Account" or check the poker points display bar on the home page.

Players should also know that if the hand lands on a free poker table, the bonus will move to the next sequential hand on a real money table.

As well as this promotion, there are many other ways to boost your bankroll with Sky Poker. One way to do this is to play during one of Sky Poker's daily Happy Hours.

There are three Happy Hours, and they will be running between 1-2pm, 6-7pm, and 11-12pm. During these specific times, all Poker Points earned on cash game tables from 2-4p upwards will get a 50% boost. So make sure that you play during these times to maximise your Cash for Points output!

Players can even earn extra Poker Points at Sky Poker cash game tables by starting up tables and playing short-handed. If three or less players are dealt into the hand, you'll earn an early bird boost. So players who are sat on a short-handed six max table will now earn an additional 50% on their Poker Points, ensuring that there will be a larger Cash for Points payout.

For more information, or to start playing online poker now, visit the Sky Poker website.
