Good databases like Oracle and SQL Server have great IDEs for stored procedures development.

You can certainly unit test them, good databases have telemetry and metrics.

Version control is no different from using containers instead of VMs.

Any database change goes through CI/CD pipelines and regular devs cannot edit code directly on the DB.

In fact the biggest issue with databases is like debugging, some devs rather not learn how to use them properly.

In one they never go beyond printf, in the other, they only know what an ORM looks like, and the command line applications for basic SELECTs.
