Name

Description

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

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.)

A distributed, linear scalable, high perfomant Graph DBMS

Widely used RDBMS
