If you’re writing database applications in a commercial environment then knowing what ACID means is part of your job.
If you don’t know that, for example, debiting one account and crediting another needs to be done inside a transaction - or the converse, what you need to do if you don’t have access to transactions - then you shouldn’t be anywhere near a database.
Fundamentals are actually important. You don’t have to know everything, but you should know the fundamentals of the field you work in.
