Mckoi SQL Database is a full featured SQL-92 relational database management system written in Java. The software can operate as either a dedicated multi-client, multi-threaded database server, or can be used as an embedded database inside a Java application.
The engine is designed to be easy to use and maintain and versatile for sophisticated database development tasks. The software provides a JDBC 2.0 driver.
MonetDB is a database management system developed from a main-memory perspective using a fully decomposed storage model, automatic index management, extensibility of data types and search accelerators, and SQL and XQuery frontends.
PostgreSQL is a Object-Relational DBMS supporting almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and user-defined types and more. The name comes from the fact that many of the original developers also worked on Ingres, and so this is the “post-ingres” database. Design for the system began in 1986, with an explicit goal of providing a database that completely supported types with the minimum number of features necessary. By the early 1990s, the database had reached a significant number of users. Around this time, its status as a University of California, Berkeley project ended, but due to the open source license, development continued, as it does to this day.
PostgreSQL is seen as the most popular open source database after MySQL, although it has in many ways more advanced and more mature implementations of key features, particularly those required by heavy-duty OLTP applications.
