I think this is the wrong way round. I'd look to a database administrator to deal with the intricacies of creating user accounts and setting up privileges -- after all, these even depend on the database system that one is using. However, it turns out that these days many software packages allow things like logging to SQL databases rather than files. As a system administrator one must know how to query these logs. Similarly, there are SQL backends for storing user accounts or DNS resource records. Finally, various software packages use SQLite databases as their native file format (e.g., Firefox). On occasion, it is very useful to be able to access these files in SQL. Anyway, the SQL required for the exam is hardly rocket science.
