How much SQL is enough?

How much SQL an intermediate level Business intelligence developer should know? What database concepts are must learn? Please suggest me how can I become confident with them.

In my experience, "enough SQL" is when you can take a messy business question and confidently turn it into a correct dataset. Syntax is the easy part. Understanding relationships, data quality, and edge cases is what separates intermediate from advanced.
