Are there any relational database management systems (RDBMS), or time series databases (TSDB), that incorporate IPFS? I read a post on [discuss.ipfs.io](http://discuss.ipfs.tech) referring to OrbitDB ([An IPFS-based DB](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/an-ipfs-based-db/1645)), but the post was from 2017 and I am wondering if there are any alternatives out there that may have come out since then, I have only found OrbitDB. I am looking for a database incorporating IPFS that multiple users have access to and can take data from, as well as add data. So, users can obtain data from the DB and/or add data if necessary. Something similar to MySQL and/or InfluxDB.

OrbitDB is yet used and growing, and there will be no replacement for that soon.  
You can also use Orbit alongside Elastic/Lunr search.
