Description

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

FairCom EDGE is an Industry 4.0 solution built to integrate, collect, aggregate and synchronize mission-critical data in edge computing environments

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.)

JavaScript DBMS with an API inspired by CouchDB

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS
