Description

TimeSeries DBMS for AIoT and BigData

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 open source RDBMS

A multi-model, scalable, distributed NoSQL database, designed to provide highly reliable, flexible, and available data management across a configurable set of storage nodes

The SAP (Sybase) Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) is an enterprise-class RDBMS
