JSqlDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.
DescriptionAnalytic DBMS for real-time computations and queriesGeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitivesDistributed, fault tolerant key-value storeIndustry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database. infoThe data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
