MySQL.

MySQL is a DBMS ONLY.  It does not do forms.  It only has tables.  You
can define these tables to have relationships.  You can use the OBDC
Drivers for windows to connect to MySQL from MS Access.

Any DBMS in Linux will likely mean you will need to spend time learning
SQL, sorry.  Look at the bright side, SQL is a wonderful skill to have
anyhow.  MySQL has TONS of documentation on their SQL on their site,
mysql.com

HTH,
