Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Native high-speed multi-model DBMS for relational and key-value store data simultaneously accessible through SQL and NoSQL APIs.

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

Extremely fast embedded database for small devices, IoT and Mobile

Oracles in-memory data grid solution

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS
