InterBase vs. Oracle Berkeley DB vs. Realm vs. V Programming Language Comparison Chart

Ultrafast, scalable, embeddable SQL database with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery, and change synchronization. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database as a direct-access library. Cross-platform, zero-install, embedded database with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Concurrent applications/client access to the database on Windows with database-level and column-level AES and DES encryption. Ultrafast, scalable, SQL server database for Windows and Linux with commercial-grade data security, disaster recovery and change synchronization. Attacks on databases and loss of data can be costly and lead to loss of customers’ trust (and business), regulatory action, and heavy fines. InterBase provides over-the-wire and at-rest encryption, separate security login, and role-based user security. InterBase maintains full on-disk encryption while adding negligible overhead to database speed and performance.

​Realm is a mobile-first, open source object database designed to run directly inside phones, tablets, and wearables. It provides a simple, object-oriented data model that eliminates the need for an ORM, allowing developers to define models as regular classes in languages like Swift, Java, Kotlin, C#, JavaScript, Dart, and C++. Realm's architecture ensures high performance and low memory usage by employing a zero-copy design, lazy loading, and multi-version concurrency control (MVCC) for thread-safe operations. It's live objects and collections automatically update across threads, enabling reactive programming patterns. Realm supports relationships between objects via links and backlinks, facilitating complex data structures. Developers can utilize tools like Realm Studio to inspect and manipulate local Realm databases and integrate Realm into various platforms, including React Native, Flutter, Xamarin, and Node.js.
