Is there any database in QGIS? I use ArcMap with a file geodatabase. But now, I have to start a project in QGIS and I don't know, how to create a database.

1you can only read and edit geodatabases in qgis - no creation only spatial-lite or shapefile. – Mapperz Dec 22 '14 at 20:16

And all the Spatial Databases. SpatiaLite is a "file" Spatial Database, as the new standard of the OGC GeoPackage: they use SQLite – gene Dec 22 '14 at 20:58

You can use a number of data formats within qgis, including PostGIS, based on PostgreSQL. Here's a topic describing how to get started with PostGIS.

Have you worked through the QGIS training modules? I am not terribly familiar with QGIS either but it seems that QGIS relies on relational database management systems to create databases and access spatial data. I am currently training myself how to use QGIS here are the links to the training about RDBMS for QGIS.
