OpenOffice.org has an Access-like database, if that’s what you’re looking for.
MYSQL and PostgreSQL may be more than what you are looking for.
They are all open source/free.
Access still around? Easy to use and not expensive on its own.
But I might be outdated. See what some others have to say.
I highly recommend Filemaker Pro. Easy as pie, understandable, and affordable. You can buy an older copy for about $100 if you look around.
If you aren’t into the nuts and bolts, this has a small learning curve and huge upside as you learn more.
Have you tried “Base” to see if it will do what you want?

If you need more than that, you might look at MySQL or MariaDB.
Can I ask, what are you trying to do with such a program?
Back in the day, we used a program named “Condor rDBMS”
From researching, looks like Handy Address Book should work fine. Thought maybe someone would know of something programmed to work with Excel.
I use EZ Address Book & love it - recommend it to anyone I know who is looking for a great address book (plus there are other features). I tried some free ones, but none anywhere near as good as this one. It’s $29.95 & worth every penny. You can install it on up to 3 of your computers. EZ Runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and Windows 10 (32 and 64 bit systems). There is a free trial. The owner has been excellent about answering emails when I’ve had a question.
Here’s the link with info, screens, etc.:

I cannot vouch for open office db but it is free. I’m sure it won’t work like access. but before ms bought access it worked better.
I remember back in the day I could and did use Lotus 123 as a Data Base, Word Processor and a Spreadsheet...
Then Dbase 4
Then Enable (dot commands!)
Then everything went stupid (or I got stupid)
oh well
Check Gizmo’s website. Lots of freeware, virus-checked. It probably has something you can use.
I have used an old Windows program called MyDatabase for years. I have partitioned my MacBook in order to keep using it.
I work with retailers and use it to build customer lists. First name, last, address, city, state, zip, phone... any term you want. It has a filter and sorting function. With the database, thr program can easily print letters, labels, envelopes, etc.
It will also allow building a simple spreadsheet program... for keeping track of customer sales, visits, etc.
It’s about $40 and can usually be found at Staples or you can download it from their site...

You can probably find a full freeware interface for address booking. No need for a db.
I LOVED working with Access (prefer the MS Office 2003 version).
Paradox for DOS was wonderful, but I’m not sure if that’s around any more.

I back up the .DAT file periodically because it stores all the data and password function.

I second the notion on FileMaker Pro. Easy to use and powerful. They used to have a junior program called Bento, but it was pulled.
A older version of FM Pro would meet your purposes fine. Version 7 or newer should work on Win 7.
How many addresses do you HAVE, anyway? If you only have flat file needs, couldn’t a simple spreadsheet or Outlook do the job?
