Your reading of the referenced page is completely different than
mine, ... but IANAL.
In particular:
Q3: Can an open source software project combine and distribute any of
Sun’s GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source software
under the FOSS License Exception?
A: Open source software projects and other developers are free to
use and distribute GPL-licensed MySQL software with other open source
software as long as they comply with the terms of the GPL.

Hi,
I'm developing a C++ software and I would like to connect R
(sometimes on another computer). In my project I'm using a MySQL
client with GPL license and FOSS exception, meaning that I can't use
any other GPL licensed components in the project. It seems that all
portable (must work on Windows and Linux) connection solutions are
GPL licensed. Is there any way to use some portable R connection
library with FOSS exception compatible license?

Thank you,
