Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Fast, reliable graph database built for the cloud

Scalable graph database built for online analytics and data harmonization with MPP scaling, high-performance analytical algorithms and reasoning, and virtualization

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.)

Application development environment with integrated database management system

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Relational DBMS
