DescriptiondBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.Enterprise-ready RDF and graph database with efficient reasoning, cluster and external index synchronization support. It supports also SQL JDBC access to Knowledge Graph and GraphQL over SPARQL.A complete, distributed, parallel graph computing platform supporting web-scale data analytics in real-timeTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query languageWakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
