Learn a lot about other (and more robust) DBMSs. Study SQL flavors.
Read a good book (read it a few times) about one specific DBMS. Read many other books about many other DBMSs. Learn to use crazy data (who the hell designed this? kinda stuff). Know the command line for every application you use.

HTH, Greg
