System Properties Comparison Apache Jena - TDB vs. Microsoft Access vs. OpenSearch vs. Percona Server for MySQL vs. Teradata Aster

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Teradata Aster has been integrated into other Teradata systems and therefore will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

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.)

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene

Enhanced drop-in replacement for MySQL based on XtraDB or TokuDB storage engines with improved performance and additional diagnostic and management features.

Platform for big data analytics on multistructured data sources and types

Primary database model

Secondary database models
