| Description | Widely used in-process key-value store | Multi-model DBMS (Document, Graph, Key/Value) | Distributed, fault tolerant key-value store | Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.  The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time. | In-memory computing platform with a flexible data schema for efficiently building high-performance applications | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Primary database model | Key-value store supports sorted and unsorted key sets Native XML DBMS in the Oracle Berkeley DB XML version | Document store Graph DBMS Key-value store | Key-value store with links between data sets and object tags for the creation of secondary indexes | Time Series DBMS | Document store Key-value store Relational DBMS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Secondary database models | Spatial DBMS with Tarantool/GIS extension | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
