System Properties Comparison AnzoGraph DB vs. dBASE vs. MySQL vs. Prometheus vs. Trafodion

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Apache Trafodion has been retired in 2021. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

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

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.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Open-source Time Series DBMS and monitoring system

Transactional SQL-on-Hadoop DBMS

Primary database model

Graph DBMS
RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS
