Name

Description

In-memory caching system

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

Widely used in-process key-value store

SADAS Engine is a columnar DBMS specifically designed for high performance in data warehouse environments

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Key-value store

Spatial DBMS

Key-value store

supports sorted and unsorted key sets
Native XML DBMS

in the Oracle Berkeley DB XML version

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.
