Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Large scale data warehouse service for use with business intelligence tools

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.

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Graph DBMS

Spatial DBMS
