By "knows", I mean the basics (insert/update/delete) and at least how to do sub-selects and how to use "group by". I do not expect *everyone* to be a stored procedure stud, but they need to know when and how to use them if they need to, and be able to say "I don't know, can you help me?" when need

The answer is "it depends". I love playing with new stuff, but when my back's against the wall (corporate deadlines, gotta love 'em) I stick with the tried and tested. I'm leading a small project right now that we started in December and we're using Struts. There are a number of reasons for this:
