Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

MaxCompute (previously known as ODPS) is a general purpose, fully managed, multi-tenancy data processing platform for large-scale data warehousing

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Common in IBM host environments, 2 different versions for host and Windows/Linux

Widely used RDBMS

A distributed graph DBMS built for enterprise-level graph applications

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a graph-processing framework is available with the graphs being stored in tables

Object oriented DBMS

Relational DBMS

Since Version 10.5 support for JSON/BSON documents compatible with MongoDB
