MySQL, database management skills. Needed for finance?

Dear all,

I am considering to learn MySQL and database management skills(DBMS), in the hope of getting analytical skillsets.

Do you think this is a right way? Are those really used in any fields of finance at all? I'm hoping to work at IB, PE, HF, or management consulting.

Thanks!
