Trends: Should developers know SQL?

I recently have been involved in a lot of refactoring work at my company. One issue we ran into was our usage of SQL in our applications, we had a habit of including a lot of business logic in SQL. To make the applications more maintainable we moved a lot of our business logic from SQL to Java. While I believe we made the right decision to remove the business logic from SQL I don't think it would be in all scenarios.
