Name

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

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.

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

TimeSeries DBMS specialized on timestamped geo data based on LevelDB or HBase
