Description

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.

Large scale data warehouse service with append-only tables

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 drop-in replacement for MongoDB Community Edition with enterprise-grade features.
