Even if they don't know details they better know that they exists and what they are used for. Strongly agree with this. "MS SQL Server" is rather specific (and versions even more so!), so if someone has just created a simple CRUD app using VB/ASP and SQL Server (the canonical Indian examples being "Library Information System" or "Student Performance Management System"), the correct thing to do would be to state that clearly. It is entirely possible that the above 'projects' were indeed heavily reliant on SQL Server-specific features (and not just Transact-SQL quirks), but personal experience has so far not backed that up. As a result, claiming to be an "MS SQL Server" 'expert' because you've happened to run queries in SQL Server Management Studio (or used some variant of PreparedStament.executeQuery()) : totally dishonest.
