Probably a bit obvious but is putting together a database considered a separate skill from just using it like the above examples?

I.e. if the job ad says "Data analyst - must know SQL", can you get away with just knowing those commands?

Yes. If the title is "analyst" or something to that effect, they're likely looking for someone who can make some sort of sense of an already existing database (or set of databases) -- i.e., not necessarily building DBs or anything. But, to be honest, it really depends. My advice to people is always apply and figure out later at the interview exactly what they're talking about if you're unsure.
