Describe the feature

Two main reasons i still mainly use Jetbrains IDEs instead of Zed is git tooling and integration with databases. There is issue for git but i didn't found one about databases.

So basically in IDEs like PyCharm and GoLand you can connect to almost any datasource to observe and query data. Would be nice to have it in Zed. Adding some of the most popular relational and NoSQL DBs (PstgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB) should be the first step in my opinion and then an interface for integration can be provided.

Environment

Zed: v0.163.2 (Zed)
OS: macOS 15.1.1
Memory: 32 GiB
Architecture: aarch64

Practically speaking JetBrains has a big leg up here, not just because they have head start (DataGrip turns 9 years old in a week) but because Jetbrains IDEs run on the JRE (Java/Kotlin). Nearly every database ships a JDBC driver with a relatively well defined interface which so you can support obscure databases (CockroachDB, DB2, SQL Server, SAP Hana) on any platform as long as cross-platform JDBC-driver available (even if those drivers are closed source). This would a harder hill to climb if it were written in Rust like the rest of Zed.

Thanks for reporting.
