Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionAll data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durabilityA multi-model DBMS and application serverLightweight, fast on-device database for IoT, Mobile and Embedded devices, persisting and synchronising objects and vectorsRDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.
