I've been using Linux for many years, and dropped Windows once I realized that I can live without it. While I have experience with complex relational databases, for a simple application such as this I just use a spreadsheet, Libreoffice in my case. You can even insert images into the cells, and it works on pretty much any OS.
For the last 20 years, I had a Sun server running with an Informix RDB which was excellent for radio & telephone logs and all I had to do was write the front end with embedded calls to the DB. Sadly that has now finally died and I had to re-write the logs to use an RPI instead. Having to do the database stuff too, I now realise how easy the former was incomparison! Yes, there is some database stuff available for the Pi, but I never found it much good.
