To do what? You haven't explained your needs.

If you just want a data repository, as you say there are lots of them. But databases don't often exist in isolation. People and businesses develop applications and services to create, interact with, and visualize the data.

OpenEdge integrates a language, database, and tool set; it makes database programming relatively straightforward and allows developers to quickly prototype their ideas. Based on your needs and tastes you can use a variety of programming styles and deployment models and target several different platforms with a unified code base.

Not everyone has those requirements but for those who do OpenEdge may be a good fit.
