Don't worry - I think it's important to have a open discussion on that.

Basically your database-user needs the right to run "create database" 
and "drop database" and that's it ... maybe you could try the patch on 
your dev-system and check if it's working there - and just let us know 
if you run into problems.
I never had problems to use this feature on any of our (dev)servers - 
most times it worked out-of-the-box...
