I am a no-coder. But I want to build myself some kind of database for personal use, something that I can easily navigate and which lets me put multiple tags on a single item and sort by tags. What should I use? I'm hoping for convenience and ease of use above all else, I don't mind if it's basic. I'm currently looking into an Obsidian plug-in named Bases, but I figured I should ask here as well.

Out of curiosity, does Microsoft have anything like that in their Office pack? It seems like the kind of thing that they would have, but I'm not familiar with it beyond the very basics (Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc.)

I can't even begin to imagine how convoluted that would turn out.

Microsoft Access is the desktop database product. It’s alright, I prefer just a straight azure SQL database though, much better to learn that since it will be more broadly applicable to any future database projects you work with, including access.
