Name

Description

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

CockroachDB is a distributed database architected for modern cloud applications. It is wire compatible with PostgreSQL and backed by a Key-Value Store, which is either RocksDB or a purpose-built derivative, called Pebble.

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.

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication

Multi-source replication using RAFT

none

Multi-source replication
Source-replica replication

Multi-source replication using RAFT
