Name

Description

dBase 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.

A distributed, high available RDBMS compatible with Oracle and MySQL

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
