System Properties Comparison Apache Jena - TDB vs. etcd vs. JSqlDb vs. Microsoft Access vs. MySQL

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

JSqlDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

A distributed reliable key-value store

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives

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

Primary database model

RDF store

Key-value store

Document store
Object oriented DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
