We have compared the stellar parameters, temperature, gravity and metallicity, between the LAMOST-DR2 and SDSS-DR12/APOGEE database for stars in common. It is found that the LAMOST database provides a better red-clump feature than the APOGEE database in the Teff versus logg diagram. With this advantage, we have separated red clump stars from red giant stars, and attempt to establish the calibrations between the two datasets for the two groups of stars respectively. It shows that there is a good consistency in temperature with a calibration close to the one-to-one line, and we can establish a satisfied metallicity calibration of [Fe/H]_APO=1.18[Fe/H]_APO+0.11 with a scatter of 0.08 dex for both red clump and red giant branch samples. For gravity, there is no any correlation for red clump stars between the two databases, and scatters around the calibrations of red giant stars are substantial. We found two main sources of the scatters of logg for red giant stars. One is a group of stars with $0.00253*Teff-8.67<logg<2.6 locating at the forbidden region, and the other is the contaminated red clump stars, which could be picked out from the unmatched region where stellar metallicity is not consistent with the position in the Teff versus logg diagram. After excluding stars at the two regions, we have established two calibrations for red giant stars, logg_APO=0.000615*Teff_LAMO+0.697*logg_LAMO-2.208$ (sigma=0.150) for [Fe/H]>-1 and logg_APO=0.000874*Teff_LAMO+0.588*logg_LAMO-3.117 (sigma=0.167) for [Fe/H]<-1. The calibrations are valid for stars with Teff=3800-5400 K and logg=0-3.8 dex, and are useful in a work aiming to combine the LAMOST and APOGEE databases in the future study. In addition, we find that an SVM method based on seismic logg is a good way to greatly improve the accuracy of gravity for these two regions at least in the LAMOST database.
