hmmm..! I say "NO" as an ETL specialist.

Coz,  Sad For testing related tasks, though Testing exposure sounds fine, but not for the development.
And moreover switching technologies/platforms is something like "ride on two horses"

Pick your best option..! but donot isolate yourself from your own work around..   Huh

huh..! Smiley So if we have fixed your mind to change over.
Then please start with databases first. If you are strong enough in any of these (Oracle/SQL/MS-SQL/Teradata/DB2), then you can easily start with any ETL/reporting tool.

All the best..!  Cool

@Vamsi -

Every tool has very good market. First decide yourself whether to step into ETL or to go after Reporting.

This thread is most useful for you - Best to step into Data warehousing
