Cannot install mySQL/maridDB on Debian 7 (Wheezy)

Stackoverflow. I am struggling for a past couple of days to install mySQL on my raspberry pi 2 :/ I am not Debian 7 (Wheezy) and there is no way I can change the distribution, have to work with that. So, i need to install MySQL version 5.5 or greater, or MariaDB and i have tried installing both, but none works.
When installing MariaDB, following their documentation, when i get to the point 

sudo apt-get install mariadb-server

Am getting an error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mariadb-server : Depends: mariadb-server-10.0 (= 10.0.32+maria-1~wheezy) but it is not installable

Tried googling and looking for similar cases, but can't find anything which would work.
With mySQL things are even worst. Using their documentation and MySQL APT Repository and tutorials doing following steps:

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.8-1_all.deb
dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.8-1_all.deb (choosing mysql 5.6)
apt-get update

It shows error:

And if i try:

apt-get install mysql-community-server
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package mysql-community-server

Please help, any help would be very appreciated!

There doesn't seem to be any package in official debian repo in the name mysql-community-server. I found mysql-server package instead. https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/mysql-server.

So try this:

  • Add official debian repo to your sources list (i.e. add deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security wheezy/updates main to the file /etc/apt/sources.list)
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install mysql-server
