System Properties Comparison AntDB vs. Apache Jena - TDB vs. Badger vs. dBASE vs. FoundationDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Created as commercial project in 2013, FoundationDB has been acquired by Apple in March 2015 and was withdrawn from the market. As a consequence, the product was removed from the DB-Engines ranking. In April 2018, Apple open-sourced FoundationDB and it therefore reappears in the ranking.

Description

A scalable, multi-tenant, MPP-architectured RDBMS for OLTP and OLAP operations, highly compatible with Oracle

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

An embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.

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.

Ordered key-value store. Core features are complimented by layers.

Primary database model

supported via specific layer
Key-value store
Relational DBMS
