Typically, all but the last item are present. So you need to be proficient in the first five points on the list or be able to acquire that knowledge in a very timely manner. Otherwise, you could find yourself having to dedicate more time than you care to.
Many voluminous books have been written on each of the points above. In some of them, the foreword and the introduction alone are nearly as long as this book, which including the index has about 300 pages. In this limited space, the authors of Microsoft SQL Server 2005: Database Essentials try to communicate the basic knowledge that a database developer must have.

Database Essentials is a good at explaining in 300 pages the stuff other authors take many more pages to do. And it lives up to its claim that nothing but the mere basics should be explained. Chances are it will suit your needs.
