You never know, it might be a step up in pay.

Andrew

Being a developer of a database, and being a DBA are two different beasts.
While you may be good at one task, you'll not be as good at the other.

How many really good DBAs can code their way out of a wet paper bag?
How many really good developers can properly tune an engine?

As to pay?

Somehow I doubt it.
