Name

Description

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

used typically together with the Natural programming platform

Google's NoSQL Big Data database service. It's the same database that powers many core Google services, including Search, Analytics, Maps, and Gmail.

Widely used open source RDBMS

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Multivalue DBMS

Key-value store
Wide column store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Document store
