Good points. My thought on bullet 4 is that anybody who claims to know SQL Server should at least know what each of those things are. And then you could delve into expertise on a given feature depending on needs.

I worked for a place that was deeply invested in XML on all tiers, but had no need to use SQL’s internal reporting services. A consulting house would need a jack of all trades.

As far as knowing the internals first, and T-SQL second I agree. As a programmer who has to wear the DBA hat, I never say “I wish a real DBA could show me how to use @TSQL_KEYWORD” and I can read a query plan and know if it looks ugly. However, beyond “it normalized”, columns are as small as possible and “CI SEEK > NCI SEEK > IX SCAN > TABLE SCAN” I don’t know what to do.
