If you don't modify the AGPL software, you have no obligations under AGPL at all. The extra network provisions only trigger for modified versions of the software. I would wager most companies don't modify their database software. Even those that do, don't let end users interact with that database, so should have no obligations either.

So says you, but not actual lawyers.

AGPL is not LGPL, so is the client library of a client/server thing enough to infect you? Probably.

If there is no client library, what's the license on the example code that you used in your app?

Actually the license says that, I just read it.
