> Examples where database syntax (i.e. SQL syntax) is 1st-class without noisy syntax of function calls, without command strings in quotes

There more examples which I think qualify but don't quite fit into your categories:

* The E language runs all code in "Vats", each of which is a single threaded compartment with transparent persistence.

* Taking inspiration from E, the Waterken server did this for Java, but required annotating mutable fields in a certain way so the persistence layer could track them.

* FoxPro doesn't neatly fit into your categories.
