Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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.)

Widely used RDBMS

NewSQL database with distributed OLTP and SQL

Primary database model

Relational DBMS
Time Series DBMS

Search engine

Relational DBMS

Document store
Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library

Document store
Graph DBMS

with Oracle Spatial and Graph
RDF store

with Oracle Spatial and Graph
Spatial DBMS

with Oracle Spatial and Graph
Vector DBMS

since Oracle 23
