Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionApplication development environment with integrated database management systemAll data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.A multi-model DBMS and application serverDBMS for the Web with a mechanism to push updated query results to applications in realtime.A complete, distributed, parallel graph computing platform supporting web-scale data analytics in real-time
