Description

A scale-out RDBMS with evolutionary schema built on Apache HBase

Highly scalable database system, designed for managing session and subscriber data in modern mobile communication networks

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.

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.)

In-memory, column based data store. Available as appliance or cloud service
