What do mean by "take Oracle"? If you are going to take a concepts course or a DBA course, you probably don't need to take an entire course in SQL. Any SQL you will need can be learned in the course.

If you're going to take a PL/SQL course it might be a good idea unless the course description says that SQL will be taught first. Doesn't the catalog or whatever you have tell you what the requirements are?
