These are more than I need, but I've added the page to my list of "where to
find" info.

https://www.capterra.com/database-management-software/

Lots of databases listed, but many are enterprise related, mobile and cloud
based.

One that looks interesting is Speedbase, and it's inexpensive.

https://download.cnet.com/business-databases/windows/3/

Everything on this page is horribly outdated. Newest OS listed is Vista.

Just two databases, Filemaker Pro 10 (or 11, depending on the page you're
looking at), and Simple Database.

Filemaker Pro is now owned by Apple, it's version 17, costs $550.

Not knowing the type of data and how you were going to use it I
initially thought that maybe you could adapt one of the many
pre-written software packages to your needs, hence the lists.

Speedbase looks like a good choice, never heard of it before but having
had a look at their website I see that it not only uses ready made
templates but it is also customisable so you can start from scratch and
make your own personal databases.

Filemaker Pro is mainly aimed for business use, you can use it at home
for individual use but I think it would be overkill for many people and
a price tag that probably makes it a non-starter. You would be better
off subscribing to Office 365 for 7 to 8 years to get Access and all
the other bits that go with it for the price of Filemaker.
I'm not overly keen on the subscription method for software, still
using Office 2010 Pro here, but I must admit Office 365 does look
attractively priced even for home use, especially when you have more
then one computer.
