Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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.

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

Widely used in-process key-value store

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

TiDB is an open source distributed SQL database that supports Hybrid Transactional/Analytical Processing (HTAP) workloads. It is MySQL compatible and features horizontal scalability, strong consistency, and high availability.
