Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Firebird is an open source RDBMS forked from Borland's InterBase

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

Primary database model
