I have a question in regards to storing user account info, I've never touched database stuff so I'm not too sure how to approach this, but I'd really appreciate some advice/recommendations on this.

What I want to build

I want to create a console text-based RPG game in C++ using Visual Studio where users can log in and gain experience in various skills that stay on their account. I also plan on creating a leaderboard system that will pull players out of a database followed by their total experience.

What I'm unsure of

I don't have a problem with the gameplay programming aspect of things but I've not had much exposure with the database side of it all. When a user creates an account, I want "database" to be created for that account, storing all their experience gains within that account, but I'm not sure how to go about do this really...

Are there any tools you'd recommend for me to achieve this sort of goal? Are there any books that would help with this?

If you don't understand the question properly please say and I'll elaborate as I may not be good as explaining this.
