You should instead be installing it from the usual debian-hosted
repositories, unless you have a known need for a specific release. The
usual repos normally have multiple releases of MariaDB/MySQL on them.

MariaDB/MySQL are today DBMS's of commercial depth and quality. That
wasn't always the case. One whole lot of Earth's commerce is riding on
them today. They are inherently complex and learning them takes time
and some background perhaps. Maybe Apache CouchDB would be better for
your purposes unless you expect scads of data.
