Other than understanding SQL I think the #1 issue for most developers is understanding database preformance. The most basic understanding of indexes and how the database parses commands goes a long way.

PS: If you don't understand the value of 'Explain' or your local databases equivelent then a day or to is all it's going to take to save yourself from a world of pain.
