>> How important is it to learn more? <<

As a database professional, the more you educate on data management fundamentals the better for you and the more you'll able to filter out nonsense from facts. And IMO, that is much more important in current database industry that being a product "specialist".

etc... that is non-vendor specific? <<

Books! Check out the local library, use online sources like citeseer, acm digital library etc.
