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

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

Key-value store
Relational DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
