Are "Text" and "Spatial" capabilities significantly different enough to count as different database types? --Indolering (talk) 04:46, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Indolering: Like many other new hype terms, it seems really difficult to pin down a useful criteria for what actually is a "multi-model database" and what isn't. Like https://blogs.the451group.com/information_management/2013/02/08/neither-fish-nor-fowl/ mentions, most classical RDBMSes also qualify as multi-model databases. These days it seems every RDBMS supports document storage (XML or JSON), full-text search, spatial queries and SQL. So perhaps in order to highlight the absurdity of this term, I would say yes, most databases are multi-model databases. -- intgr [talk] 07:28, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Intgr: But spatial and full-text search capabilities don't alter how one structures the schema of the database. These are instances of data-types, like integers and dates.

• The "Key-value" column should be added.
• Perhaps the "Object" column should be removed. Otherwise, the InterSystems Caché row should be added.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

• Specific text to be changed: CRATEIO should read CrateDB
• Reason for the change: CrateDB is the name of the database. Crate.io is the name of the company developing CrateDB. CrateDB is an open-source project so also other developers than employees of Crate.io are contributing. Full disclosure: This change is suggested by the marketing team of Crate.io
• References supporting change: https://crate.io/products/cratedb

 Done Thank you @Crate.io: for making a request. I want to let you know that Wikipedia accounts are for individuals and doesn't allow organizational users. See wp:corpname and the section below it on shared used accounts. You will probably have to either rename the account or get a new one. Have a nice day.
