Is this for private use or for a company? I am thinking about the costs here!

If you want to make databases with a maximum number of users around 20 to 50 then Microsoft Access is perfect. Access can also be used for making you front end (user inteface) and is very user friendly to work with.
If you expect more users then you can still use Access for the fronty end and either MySQL or MS SQL Sever. MySQL is a free Relational database but it may be difficult to work with if you dont know too much about relational databases. MS (Microsoft) SQL Server is expensive but much more user friendly to work with.
