Open Source BSD Database Engines/Servers

Firebird RDBMS offers ANSI SQL features & runs on Linux, Windows & several Unix platforms. Features excellent concurrency & performance & powerful stored procedure & trigger language. More information and downloads at https://firebirdsql.org/, issue tracker is https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/issues

AppServ is an merging open source software installer package for Windows and Linux.

libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple DBs and multiple simultaneous DB connections by using this framework.

HSQLDB is a relational database engine written in Java, with a JDBC driver, conforming to ANSI SQL:2023. A small, fast, multithreaded engine and server with memory and disk tables, LOBs, transaction isolation, multiversion concurrency and ACID.

CLucene is a C++ port of Lucene: the high-performance, full-featured text search engine written in Java. CLucene is faster than lucene as it is written in C++.

Virtuoso is a scalable cross-platform server that combines Relational, Graph, and Document Data Management with Web Application Server and Web Services Platform functionality.

i-doit is a web based IT documentation and CMDB. i-doit documents IT-systems and their changes, defines emergency plans, displays vital information and helps to ensure a stable and efficient IT operation: The technical documentation: This means that all information can be organised (details flexibly adjusted), stored and maintained in one place. This allows simple Helpdesk, Support and Planning functions and provides the basis for quality assurance and certification. i-doit allows services to be documented as a logical grouping of objects placed in relation to each other. This provides the basis for (ITIL) processes such as Change and Problem Management, helps to control and manage the SLA (Service Level Agreement) or the communication with users. Its interfaces to other ITSM applications (like Nagios, Request Tracker etc.) allow the entering of data only once in the ITSM environment. i-doit maintains one holistic view of the operational situation.

GT.M[tm] is a vetted industrial strength, transaction processing application platform consisting of a key-value database engine optimized for extreme transaction processing throughput & business continuity.

A set of libraries and utilities for reading Microsoft Access database (MDB) files. THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/mdbtools/mdbtools

The Lemur Project develops search engines, browser toolbars, text analysis tools, and data resources that support research and development of information retrieval and text mining software, including the Indri search engine in C++, the Galago search engine research framework in Java, the RankLib learning to rank library, ClueWeb09 and ClueWeb12 datasets and the Sifaka data mining application.

The libdbi-drivers project maintains drivers for the libdbi database abstraction layer written in C. Drivers are distributed seperately from the library itself.

KInterbasDB is a Python DB API 2.0 module for the relational databases Firebird and Interbase. KInterbasDB also exposes most of the native client API of the database engine, including two-phase commit, server-side events, and an administrative API.

The goal of PyTables is to enable the end user to efficiently and easily manipulate large datasets (both homogenous, i.e. arrays, and heterogenous, i.e. tables) on a persistent, hierarchical way.

TDBF is a native dBASE III+, dBase IV and dBase 2k data access component for Delphi, BCB, Kylix, FreePascal. It allows you to create very compact database programs which don't need any special installer programs. The DB engine code is compiled right into your executable.

RedBlack balance tree searching and sorting library

Implementation of ANSI Standard MUMPS 1995 and ISO/IEC 11756 for FreeBSD, OSX and linux. Also on the Raspberry Pi (ARM) under debian and Windows under cygwin. This is the post-relational database.

See http://www.cubrid.org/cluster. CUBRID Cluster is an open source clustered DBMS for high scalability including global schema, distributed partition and load balancing features. It is a spin-off project from CUBRID project and supported by NHN.

The Datalog Educational System (DES) is a deductive database with Datalog, SQL, Relational Algebra, Tuple Relational Calculus and Domain Relational Calculus as query languages developed mainly for education. It can be used from most common Prolog interpreters over any supported OS and from portable executables (Windows, Linux and MacOS).

Java CSV is a small fast open source Java library for reading and writing CSV and plain delimited text files. All kinds of CSV files can be handled, text qualified, Excel formatted, etc.

db4o is the world's leading open source object database for Java and .NET. Leverage fast native object persistence, ACID transactions, query-by-example, S.O.D.A object query API, automatic class schema evolution, small size (http://developer.db4o.com)

Blazegraph has moved to Github. Please see https://github.com/blazegraph/database/.

The intention behind FT is to support a graph based database backend for Objective-C and GNUstep/MacOS X environment. In order to install FT start installing Encore, then BDB and afterwards FT.

Tokyo Cabinet is the successor of QDBM, a high performance database library similar to the DBM family. It also supports hash and B-tree databases and does not require any server process. The overall speed is improved compared to QDBM.
