DescriptiondBase was one of the first databases with a development environment on PC's. Its latest version dBase V is still sold as dBase classic, which needs a DOS Emulation. The up-to-date product is dBase plus.Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries. infoThe Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)A distributed, high available RDBMS compatible with Oracle and MySQLWidely used embeddable, in-process RDBMSFast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
