Description

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

Fast, reliable graph database built for the cloud

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.
