MariaDB
MariaDB is a popular free database for storing business and website data in tables. It started as a community branch of MySQL and works as a drop-in replacement for it. You run it on your own server.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
