I would say that, by bundling everything into one installer, you're beginning to brush up against the GPL's derived product language,
"You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License." Since you are distributing a work that contains a GPL component. The simple expedient would be to distribute two installers, one for the database (and anything else you don't mind being covered by the GPL), and one for your application.
