Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

JSqlDB seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

All 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.

Full-featured RDBMS with a small footprint, either embedded into a Java application or used as a database server.

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

JavaScript Query Language Database, stores JavaScript objects and primitives
