A quick Google search found DB Fiddle, but possibly the easiest option is to download & install MAMP (on Mac) or WAMP (on Windows) so you have both MySQL and phpMyAdmin installed on your local machine, which will allow you to create and play with databases all you want in a pretty-friendly GUI interface.
