Description

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

High performance Time Series DBMS

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.)

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS
