Name

Description

OLTP - DBMS for mainframes and Linux/Unix/Windows environments

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

All 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.

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes
