Name

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

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

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

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.)

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

In-Memory RDBMS compatible to Oracle
