ALTIBASE is a relational database management system (DBMS) offered and developed by Altibase Corporation in South Korea. It claims to be the world's first hybrid DBMS, supporting both in-memory tables (also called memory tables) and disk-based tables.

Since Altibase was originally developed as an in-memory database, all tables resided in memory until Altibase V.4, at which point it started supporting both disk tables and memory tables.

In Korea, Altibase is widely used in the telecommunication industry and stock exchange market.^{[citation needed]} SK Telecom, KTF, Samsung, LG Telecom and almost every stock exchange company in the country are known to be running Altibase.^{[citation needed]}

Major telecommunication companies in China such as China Mobile and China Telecom are also using Altibase V.4 in their mission-critical data processing area.^{[citation needed]}
