DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesdBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query languageOpenCL based in-memory RDBMS, designed for efficiently utilizing the hardware via parallel computing
