Description

Multi-model database supporting relational and graph data models and built upon PostgreSQL

Hosted, scalable database service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

DataStax Enterprise (DSE) is the always-on, scalable data platform built on Apache Cassandra and designed for hybrid Cloud. DSE integrates graph, search, analytics, administration, developer tooling, and monitoring into a unified platform.

dBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.

A drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.
