Name

Description

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

Analytic Database platform built on PostgreSQL. Full name is Pivotal Greenplum Database

A logical database in Greenplum is an array of individual PostgreSQL databases working together to present a single database image.

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 open source RDBMS

MultiValue database and application server with SQL mapping layer and meta database capabilities

Primary database model

RDF store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Multivalue DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
