There are three ways to do database design:

1- SQL-based databases...try SQLite or MySQL

2- No SQL-based databases...try MongoDB....it is very easy..

3- Graph-based databases....It is evolving in data science

Gradually no-sql databases are getting more popular. However, learning SQL really pays off your investment of time and efforts as it can be used in many databases like IBM, Oracle, MySQL, SAP Hana Microsoft, etc.
