Name

Description

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

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

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.

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB
