Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

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.

Data logging and graphing tool for time series data

The storage layer (fixed size database) is called Whisper

A native Graph DBMS to store and maintain very large RDF datasets.

Riak TS is a distributed NoSQL database optimized for time series data and based on Riak KV

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

Primary database model

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
