Name

Description

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

Fully vectorized database across both GPUs and CPUs

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.)

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
