mySql connector license

[Danijel Jevtic]

Hello everyone,
I hope that there are some people out there who can clarify this licensing question for me.
Until now I have been programming a web application which is based only on libraries using the Apache License.
I have played a little with the mysql connector/J and find it to be one of the best tools for persisting my data. As of today I have not used any LGPL based software, because of some irregularities in the license. I want to distribute my web app under a commercial license, but think that as soon as I use an LGPL based library I also have to distribute my web app under LGPL.

My believe is strengthened by the following article of the LGPL:
A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

Since my web app is using an LGPL library it therefore also needs to be LGPL.
Is this correct?

I would appreciate some hints of other users, who may have encountered the same problem. In the future I will be using connector/J 3, but for now I am planning to use connector/J 2, if licensing allows me to do that.
Is there a commercial connector/J 2 or connector/J 3 license which I may not be aware of?
What's may be the difference in the licenses of the two versions?
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
