One obvious thing that's missing here is Microsoft's SQL Server. Solid piece of software and associated tooling that has a free "Developer Edition", a full-featured version for developer use!
Why would anybody use that if we can just apt install postgresql?

SQL Server has some interesting features. It has a much better alternative to pgadmin. You can write stored procs in C#. I would use postgres for most tasks but there are things unique to SQL Server.
It just occurred to me that Rust might be a really good fit for user defined functions in MySQL. I would never want to write in C or C++ myself, but with a nice crate that abstracts away and/or provides most the structures you might need to pass back and forth, I would be much more confident that if I got it compiling in Rust that it probably wouldn't blow up my database.
I mean, I think that's one of the major benefits of using C# over C or C++. You're not likely to segfault or buffer overflow, etc.

Is there a database where you can write stored procedures in C or C++? Usually such languages can't segfault or buffer overflow.

That said, I bet just about every database supports something similar (and postgres' equivalent has already been provided by a sibling comment).
