Name

Description

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

Widely used open source RDBMS

Scalable Time Series DBMS based on HBase

Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value)

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

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

Key/Value like access via memcached API

Time Series DBMS

Document store
Graph DBMS
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.

Secondary database models

Document store
Spatial DBMS
