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.

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.)

One of the most popular document stores available both as a fully managed cloud service and for deployment on self-managed infrastructure

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
