For performing database queries, NI sells the Database Connectivity Toolkit. However, since your version of LabVIEW is no longer supported, I don't know if you could purchase it. Your other option is to use LabSQL. Both of these are based on ADO. The toolkit hides some of the low level SQL commands but you can find plenty of SQL tutorials and should be able to get up to speed fairly quickly. LabSQL is what I use in my LabVIEW apps.
The actual creation of a database is typically done in the database environment itself (i.e. you use Access to create a Jet database). This is not really related to LabVIEW at all and proper database design is a pretty lengthy subject. If you know the database system that you plan to use, someone might be able to point you to specific help.
