How to become a Database Administrator

Hi Geeks,

Thanks for reading my post

I am new to the scene, and I have got 4 years of experience in SQL development / SQL programming and .net programming.

I have found Database being my strenght over .net, and I want to get into Database exclusively.

How can I do it, I am started to learn the Database Administration part and grooming.

What should I learn / practice to bring myself a true dedicated Database GURU.

I believe Database Dev and Admin would not allow to market myself, so I am not someone who would want to be limited with it.

If there would be a necessity / demand if I learn, SSIS, SSAS , SSRS along with datawarehousing I would like to take it without a shadow of a doubt.

shoot your answers, as this would be a turning point for me.

Thanks,

AB
