That doesn't seem to be at all what they're saying, but in any case I checked SurrealDB (biggest Rust DB I could find) and there was exactly one report of a segfault and the developers couldn't reproduce it.

As far as I can tell about 5% of mariadb bugs mention segfaults, compared to 0.2% for SurrealDB.

I mean it's fairly obvious that even if some code in a Rust database is `unsafe` because it deals with manual paging and DMA and whatever, most of the code is going to be safe code.
