Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

Natively in-memory DBMS with options for persistency, high-availability and clustering

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a hierachical model (tree) can be imposed
