Name

This system has been discontinued and 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

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.)

Widely used open source RDBMS

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

A fully ACID transactional, developer-friendly, multi-model DBMS

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store

Document store
Graph DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
