Name | Current Stable Version | Language(s) | SQL support | Datatypes | License | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Caché | 2017.2.1 | Caché ObjectScript (dynamic language), Basic. Java/.NET object mapping supported. | SQL subset. Object notation allowed. Supports embedded SQL, dynamic SQL and xDBC access. | Proprietary | MUMPS ancestry. Includes built-in support for XML, Web/AJAX and an EMB system called Ensemble. Supports embedded, client/server and distributed implementations. | |
ConceptBase | 8.1.13 (2019-12-09) |
Telos | CBQL (based on Datalog) | no types but classes | open source, FreeBSD-style license | historical db, active rules, meta-modeling, deductive rules |
Db4o | 8.0 (2011-03-09) |
C#, Java | db4o-sql | .NET and Java data types | GPL, custom,[1] proprietary | Native Queries, LINQ support, automatic schema evolution, Transparent Activation/Persistence, replication to RDBMS, Object Manager plugin for Visual Studio and Eclipse |
GemStone/S | 3.6.0 | Smalltalk | None | Objects and code | Proprietary, free version available | Persistent, transactional, multi-user Smalltalk developed by GemTalk Systems. |
ObjectDatabase++ | 4.4 (2015-07-03) |
