Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

An ultra-fast, open source Key-value store fully compatible with Redis API, modules, and protocols

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 embeddable, in-process RDBMS

Scalable analytics DBMS for sensor data, provided as a service (SaaS)

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a hierachical model (tree) can be imposed

Key-value store
