DBA skills needed

As tech professionals, we are always on the look out for the one technology or skill set that would always try to set us apart, and I think being a successful DBA in today's climate is no different. I find that in my current role, you have to wear many hats/roles, and I am glad I was able to be a successful system admin before I transitioned over to my current role as Applications DBA ( Oracle Apps).
It is vital for DBA's to know and be familiar with the Application landscape as well, as the 3 tiers suggest, troubleshooting the DB solely without knowing interaction with Apps layer is useless... 3  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?
