NameDatomic  Xexclude from comparisonHBase  Xexclude from comparisonInterSystems Caché  Xexclude from comparisonSAP SQL Anywhere infoformerly called Adaptive Server Anywhere  Xexclude from comparisonTarantool  Xexclude from comparison
Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.
DescriptionDatomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durabilityWide-column store based on Apache Hadoop and on concepts of BigTableA multi-model DBMS and application serverRDBMS database and synchronization technologies for server, desktop, remote office, and mobile environmentsIn-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications
