Description

JavaScript DBMS library

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

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 highly scalable full ACID SQL database with fast NoSQL data ingestion and GIS capabilities

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