SQL Basics is a very lightweight introduction to databases, if you have no prior experience that might be a good place to start. It's also a short course and you can get through it quickly.

Database Foundations is also an introductory-level course, but its longer and covers more information. While you don't need prior experience for this one either, if you have even a little, this one would be more likely to hold your interest.
