Comparing the main Gartner Magic Quadrant ODBMS leaders

Hi Community,

In this article I compared the features of the main leaders in the ODBMS gartner quadrant - 2019. See the list sorted by number of existent features.

  1. InterSystems IRIS 2020.3 - 59 features (https://docs.intersystems.com/irislatest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls)
  2. Oracle Database 21c - 54 features (https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/index.html)
  3. Microsoft SQL Server - 45 features (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/?view=sql-server-ver15)
  4. AWS Aurora - PostgreSQL - 34 features (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/CHAP_Aurora...)

I compared only features, any performance comparation (see ESG report for this). I used the product official documentation links above.
