System Properties Comparison mSQL vs. Oracle Coherence vs. RDF4J vs. RRDtool vs. ToroDB

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

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

Description

mSQL (Mini SQL) is a simple and lightweight RDBMS

Oracles in-memory data grid solution

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

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.

A MongoDB-compatible JSON document store, built on top of PostgreSQL

Primary database model
