Indeed.  It's this very thing that you speak of that makes web
development very discouraging to me because it does demand knowledge of
quite a few separate but interconnected domains and their specific
languages.  In my original post I had forgotten to mention ORM, though I
did mention SQL.  Adding abstraction in theory makes things easier.  In
practice it's often kind of like the old saying about solving a problem
using regular expressions.
