I am not sure if this counts as a "killer application", but statistics students
should be aware that knowledge of SQL is very useful in the business world,
especially in finance. I am much more likely to interview/hire someone with SQL
experience. It is not so important that they know the database that I
(currently) use. The key is that they know what a RDMS is, how different tables
are related (or not) to one another, how to get data into and out of a database
and so on.
