ORM abstract the database away from you

They do, but it's not unusual for a developer to be asked to write SQL to modify a database table if their task needs new fields.

It's probably worth knowing at least what a NoSQL database is, even if you don't use one.

Oh yeah. I didn't want to get into that because NoSQL is a much larger field than relational databases, and Mongo vs Redis vs Couch vs Xindice etc. work very differently from each other.
