A checkbox field stores an array, to output the values you need to loop over that array,

I’m not sure why you’re using $rows = get_field(‘database_list’); instead of a have_rows() loop https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/have_rows/

something like this, note this is not exact code, just an example.

if (have_rows('database_list')) {
  while (have_rows('database_list')) {
    $categories = get_sub_field('category');
    if ($categories) {
      // loop over catagories
      foreach ($categories as $category) {
        echo '<li>'.$category.'</li>';
      }
    }
  }
}

or using an array

$rows = get_field('database_list');
if ($rows) {
  foreach ($rows as $row) {
    if ($row['category']) {
      foreach ($row['category'] as $category) {
        echo '<li>'.$category.'</li>';
      }
    }
  }
}
