I thought the AGPL only applied to modifications of the AGPL'd software? E.g. you'd have to open source any modifications of the AGPL service you make.

Yes, but to "modify" under the definition of GPL (which AGPL extends) includes linking.

Which is why the weaker LGPL excludes linking, AGPL is stronger, so definitely includes linking.

How does the concept of linking translates to a deployed database that is interfaced using some SQL endpoint or REST service?
