It depends where you work as to what you need to know (up to a point).
I am a partner in a v.small studio, consequently I do all the Flash stuff so I'm reasonably handy with AS and animation. I design all the websites we build, write the CSS and XHTML. Another partner does all the SQL / Coldfusion stuff, but I know enough to mess about with the coldfusion stuff and alter SQL queries.
I find when you do a lot of database driven sites that most of the satisfaction lies in producing a page that still looks good, even though all the content is being dragged out of a database and there are loops and god knows what else all over the page.
I also have to design identities for start-ups and companies that want to rebrand,
I've only got experience of all these things by doing them, even when I wasn't certain what I was doing. In my situation, you just have to learn or lose the job.
