System Properties Comparison Dragonfly vs. InterSystems Caché vs. Manticore Search vs. MySQL vs. Teradata Aster

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Caché is a deprecated database engine which is substituted with InterSystems IRIS. It therefore is removed from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Teradata Aster has been integrated into other Teradata systems and therefore will be removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description
