Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Sqrrl has been acquired by Amazon and became a part of Amazon Web Services. It has been removed from the DB-Engines ranking.

Description

Embeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

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.)

Widely used RDBMS

Adaptable, secure NoSQL built on Apache Accumulo
