Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

NuoDB is a webscale distributed database that supports SQL and ACID transactions

Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store

Embeddable persistent key-value store optimized for fast storage (flash and RAM)

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

Primary database model

Time Series DBMS

Relational DBMS

Key-value store

with links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes

Key-value store

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.
