Not really what I mean, more a point that as a "ColdFusion" programmer, you need to know a certain amount of SQL, not just crud, in your arsenal.
You are the all-rounder - you have a great level of SQL and ColdFusion, a perfect balance - one I think is essential.

First of all, I think that writing anything but the most trivial stored procedures is something that is generally outside the scope of the duties of a ColdFusion programmer. Second, why would not knowing the idiosyncracies of one specific dbms that isn't even multi-platform mean that somebody is not a good ColdFusion programmer?
