Antoine gives good advice...

But...there are only so many things you can learn at a time.  You can
probably get by without an understanding of SQL for a little bit, as
long as your website doesn't do too much or have too many hits.  :)

But eventually you may find you have to rework quite a bit of your
code/models to get better performance.

So while you are just starting out:

- if you can make the ORM do what you want,
- and it does it fast enough
- and you aren't going to see a large increase in traffic any time
soon

Don't sweat learning SQL....at some point you'll want to/need to
understand it more.  But you can't learn everything at once.
