System Properties Comparison Atos Standard Common Repository vs. Datomic vs. dBASE vs. MySQL vs. Teradata Aster

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

This system has been discontinued and will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

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

Description

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

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

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.

Widely used open source RDBMS

Platform for big data analytics on multistructured data sources and types

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models
