System Properties Comparison mSQL vs. OpenEdge vs. OrigoDB vs. Redis vs. Yanza

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Yanza seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

Application development environment with integrated database management system

A fully ACID in-memory object graph database

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
