I only need a recommendation

I have a project assignment due in 2 weeks which requires I use a relational database and a non-relational database together to handle different types of data

I'd like to know which engines are the fastest to set up to program with (I just need to get it working, I don't need the ones with the most features or anything overly powerful, I don't intend to make a commercial application)

speed on configuring and the least steep learning curve in usage are the most important aspects here

like I mentioned at the beginning I only need a recommendation, so, for example MySQL and MongoDB or SQLServer and Oracle (those are just examples)

the environment is Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) and the language is either Java or C/C++
