Postgres is not overly object oriented. SQL is mostly SQL which is why porting between engines is not difficult.

I agree, it's like C++, people have always complained that C++ falsely claims to be an object-oriented language, but Bjarne Stroustrup has said, at least a million times, that it's not an object oriented language, it's a language with features that support object oriented programming. That's why he originally called it "C with classes." Postgres is the same thing, you can use it as a row and column SQL database, or as an object-relational database. I've never used it, but everything I've ever heard about it has been pretty positive. 😁
