Description

JavaScript DBMS library

Converged and high performance database for device data, events, time series, document and graph

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.)

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
