It depends what your goals are. It is good to know but if you are concentrating on database development that may take priority.

It all boils down to need, what do you need or want to build, businesses usually make the decision for you but if you are solo I think getting off the ground quick is the best, choose a language you click with in that case. Even if it not the norm
