Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

M2M integration platform for persisting/querying time series data

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

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

Time Series DBMS

Document store
Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.

Secondary database models

Spatial DBMS

with Tarantool/GIS extension
