SQLite Alternatives for Windows

PostgreSQL, or Postgres for short is a widely popular, free and open-source relational database management system. PostgreSQL is available for all major operating systems including macOS, Linux, Windows, BSD and Solaris. The project has been in active development for over 30 years now, and powers many of the applications you use on a daily basis.

The worlds most popular free open-source relational database, MySQL is used by 150,000 + companies across the globe. The relational database management system is released and distributed under the GPL license and openly developed by the community. MySQL uses SQL as its query language and is fully integrated and ACID compliant.

Neo4j is a commercially provided graph database management system developed by Neo4j, Inc. The graph database is fundamentally different to the relational model found in relational database management systems (RDBMS). With Neo4j, each data record, or node, stores direct pointers to all the nodes it's connected to. The database is also designed to perform complex queries with complex connections orders of magnitude faster. Neo4j is ACID-compliant and suited for projects that requires complicated relationship structures.

KeyDB is fast, free, and open-source NoSQL database with full compatibility for Redis APIs, clients, and modules. The database was originally forked from the Redis code-base and has been improved to handle multithreading, memory efficiency, and higher throughput. KeyDB is now a fully multithreaded and allow many machine cores to operate a single node resulting in 5X the throughput of Redis (v5) and up to 3x the throughput of Redis (v6). KeyDB also includes Redis Enterprise such as Active Replication, FLASH storage support, and other features like direct backup to AWS S3.

GraphDB is a simple graph API for SQL Server. The GraphDB database resides inside of your SQL server and together with .Net 4.5 assemblies partitioned into a client and an admin API. The Client API allow users to connect to a GraphDB store and store graphs of entities in workspaces. The API has a rich set of data-, security- and graph-related methods to easily manage entities, collaboration and networks. While the Admin APU allows you store and manage data, and manage security related tasks and user accounts.

NosDB is an open-source NoSQL Database that is 100% native to .NET. The database is released under the Apache 2.0 License and can be used in commercial and non-commercial projects alike. NosDB helps you accelerate your.NET development by providing a flexible JSON schema. Developers use NosDB to build projects tailored around Personalization, Content Management, Catalogs, Data Logs, Real-Time Big Data, Internet of Things, Scalable Web Apps, Scalable Web Services and more

CrateDB is the leading, distributed SQL database for relational and time‑series data. CrateDB provides a distributed SQL DBMS built atop NoSQL storage & indexing delivers the best of SQL & NoSQL in one DB. It's designed for simple scalability with a masterless architecture with auto-sharding & replication. It also provides solutions for dynamic schema where the schema evolves automatically as new columns are inserted, while handling any tabular or non-tabular data to support a wide range of use cases. CrateDB is the perfect choice for your machine data.

Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source, distributed, wide column store, NoSQL database management system. Apache Cassandra is designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. The database has become the choice of many organizations that need scalability and high availability without compromising performance. Apache Cassandra also provides support for replicating across multiple datacenters, providing lower latency for end users of Cassandra-powered applications.

OrientDB is an open-source NoSQL database management system written in Java. The multi-model database supports graph, document, key/value, and object models, where relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records. The database is extremly efficient and can store over 220,000 records per second on common hardware, and traverse thousands of records in milisecons. OrientDB scales well on multiple machines, thanks to the multi-master replication where there is no single bottleneck on writes like with master-slave replication.

RethinkDB is a scalable, open-source database designed for real-time applications. When your app polls your database for data, it becomes slow, unscalable, and cumbersome to maintain. RethinkDB solves this by providing a new database access model, where developers can instruct the database to continuously push updated query results to their applications, without polling.

HSQLDB is a relational database engine written in Java, with a JDBC driver, conforming to ANSI SQL:2016. It's the best for Java developers for development, testing and deployment of database applications. HSQLDB provides a small, fast, multithreaded engine and server with memory and disk tables, LOBs, transaction isolation, multiversion concurrency and ACID.

Couchbase, originally known as Membase is an award-winning, open-source, distributed multi-model NoSQL and document-oriented cloud database. It is designed and optimized for interactive applications and may serve many concurrent users by creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating and presenting data. Couchbase delivers unmatched versatility, performance, scalability, and financial value across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, distributed cloud, and edge computing deployments.
