System Properties Comparison H2GIS vs. Hyprcubd vs. PostGIS vs. TinkerGraph vs. TypeDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Hyprcubd seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Spatial extension of H2

Serverless Time Series DBMS

Spatial extension of PostgreSQL

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

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

Primary database model

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.

Secondary database models

Relational DBMS
