I'd have to disagree with you on the tooling. Mature (especially commercial) SQL databases have a lot of great tooling built around them that inany areas surpass most of the language tools. For example, Extended events, which comes with SQL Server by default, allows you to trace/profile/filter hundreds of different events in real time, going from simple things like query execution tracing and going all the way to profiling locks, spinlocks, IO events and much more. There's (also built-in) another tool called Query Store that allows to track performance regressions, aggregate performance statistics etc. And then there's whole infrastructure of 3d party tools for things like execution plan analysis, capacity planning etc etc. Oracle has similar rich set of tools. Postgres is lacking some of those, but it's getting better. IDE support in JetBrains products is not that far away from, say, java experience, but from a pure coding perspective it's a bit behind.
