A note shared with a friend on getting started with DB on a Windows env. Putting it up for the larger audience.
1) Try MySql (or Postgre) DB Online via Browser:

2) Install MySql on Windows:
• https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
3) Run Windows Virtual Machine (VM) with a MS Sql DB installed in that VM:
3.1) Use either VMPlayer or VirtualBox as the virtualization software
• VMWare Player: https://www.vmware.com/in/products/workstation-player.html
• Oracle VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
3.2) Download the corresponding VM:
• https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/
3.3) Login to the VM & install MS Sql server in it
Hope it helps.
