How can I quickly setup a database and query to test this thing?

I find setting up databases and configuring them a super pain in the
ass, so much so that I have a fair number of bugs lingering because I
can't motivate myself to struggle with configuring databases.

Personally, I think I would be tempted by something like a virtual box
VDI pre-configured, installed and populated databases images/appliances

At least for the simple tasks like this, running some SQL query against
any database, the ODBC/HSQL (or whatever is the background job doing) of
Base is sufficient. The easiest method (of course I had to have that
idea after having created my own ;) is probably to copy (to not mess
around with the registered sample database)
install/basis3.5/presets/database/biblio.odb to the document folder and
file open it.

Is this a stupid idea ?

If larger SQL systems setup in specific ways are needed, a VB is
probably a good idea.
