DescriptionOLTP - DBMS for mainframes and Linux/Unix/Windows environments infoused typically together with the Natural programming platformAll 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 Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017A robust multi-value DBMS comprising development tools and middlewareSADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments
