I don't doubt that but on today's web stacks you use either MySQL or Postgres typically and both those are written in C. Yes, you can create your own DB written in a low level language, but you'll be hitting the same issues that the DB solves for you (indexing upon insertions, query optimizations, transactional operations, etc).
