Name

Description

High performant column-oriented DBMS for analytic workloads using MySQL or PostgreSQL as a frontend

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

Spatial extension of SQLite

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

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

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS
Key-value store

Spatial DBMS

Relational DBMS

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.
