Name

Description

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

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

A distributed document store with integrated cache, a powerful search engine, in-built operational and analytical capabilities, and an embedded mobile database

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)
