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.Distributed and scalable native Graph DBMSMultithreaded, transactional RDBMS written in Java infoalso known as HSQLDBA multi-model DBMS and application serverA Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017
