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...

Only one card of those tracked modified its rates this week. JetBlue from American Express adjusted its introductory rate on balance transfers to 3.99 percent, from 3.90 percent. The card also lengthened the period for the introductory rate to nine months, from six months. After the introductory period, the rate rises to the card's standard rate for purchases, which was unchanged at 15.24 percent for applicants with excellent credit.

The change did not affect card averages as CreditCards.com's calculation does not include introductory rates.

No card issuers changed rates that apply to purchases. Credit card interest rates have remained in a holding pattern for most of 2012.

The CreditCards.com credit card rate survey (permalink: http://www.creditcards.com/rate-report) is conducted weekly, using offer data from the leading U.S. card issuers' websites. Introductory offer periods and regular interest rates will vary with applicants' credit quality and issuer risk-based pricing policies.
