You could use Access if you have MS Office.
A free alternative is OpenOffice Base.

Each one of these will allow you to build out a mock schema and apply indexes, primary keys and table joins. Both should also allow you to build something similar to a stored procedures, views and user defined functions. Either app will allow you to upsize to a full RDBMS in the future, like MySql or MS SQL Server.
