Name

Description

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

Well established RDBMS

Widely used open source RDBMS

Widely used RDBMS

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.
