System Properties Comparison Databend vs. Google Cloud Datastore vs. Microsoft Access vs. MySQL vs. Sqrrl

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

An open-source, elastic, and workload-aware cloud data warehouse designed to meet businesses' massive-scale analytics needs at low cost and with low complexity

Automatically scaling NoSQL Database as a Service (DBaaS) on the Google Cloud Platform

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

Widely used open source RDBMS

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo

Primary database model
