Name

Description

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

Scalable TimeSeries DBMS based on HBase with integrated rule engine and visualization

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.

A high performance, column-oriented RDBMS, specifically developed to harness the massive parallelism of modern CPU and GPU hardware

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Primary database model

RDF store

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS
