Relational Database Management System (RDBMS):

• Description: RDBMS is the most traditional and widely used type of SQL database. It organizes data into tables with rows and columns, and relationships between tables are established using keys.
• Examples: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server.

NoSQL Databases:

• Description: NoSQL databases are designed to handle unstructured, semi-structured, or structured data. They don't require a fixed schema and are suitable for handling large volumes of data with flexible schema requirements.
• Examples: MongoDB (document-oriented), Cassandra (wide-column store), Redis (key-value store).

In-Memory Databases:

• Description: In-memory databases store data in the system's main memory (RAM) rather than on disk, enabling faster data access and retrieval.
• Examples: Redis, Memcached.

Columnar Databases:

• Description: Columnar databases store data in columns rather than rows, which can be more efficient for certain types of queries and analytics.
• Examples: Google Bigtable, Apache HBase.

Graph Databases:

• Description: Graph databases are designed for handling data with complex relationships. They use graph structures with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data.
• Examples: Neo4j, Amazon Neptune.

Time-Series Databases:

• Description: Time-series databases are optimized for handling time-stamped data, such as logs, sensor data, and financial market data.
• Examples: InfluxDB, OpenTSDB.

NewSQL Databases:

• Description: NewSQL databases aim to combine the benefits of traditional SQL databases (ACID compliance) with the scalability and performance advantages of NoSQL databases.
• Examples: Google Spanner, CockroachDB.

Spatial Databases:

• Description: Spatial databases are designed for storing and querying spatial data, such as geographical information and maps.
• Examples: PostGIS (extension for PostgreSQL), Oracle Spatial.

Document-Oriented Databases:

• Description: Document-oriented databases store data in flexible, JSON-like documents, allowing for dynamic schemas and easy scalability.
• Examples: MongoDB, CouchDB.

Distributed Databases:

• Description: Distributed databases distribute data across multiple servers or nodes to improve scalability and fault tolerance.
• Examples: Amazon Aurora, Apache Cassandra.
