Description

Spatial and temporal data processing engine for extreme data scale

A Java embedded Key-Value Store which extends the Java Map interface

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.)

Microsofts flagship relational DBMS

Oracles in-memory data grid solution
