Name

Description

A high-performance, column-oriented SQL DBMS for online analytical processing (OLAP) that uses all available system resources to their full potential to process each analytical query as fast as possible. It is available as both an open-source software and a cloud offering.

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

Widely used open source RDBMS

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

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

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

Time Series DBMS

Document store
Spatial DBMS
