You really don't need that much SQL for the PL/SQL course. The SQL course goes through nice things like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and then things escalate from there. For the PL/SQL course, you pretty much need a good understanding of SQL, but not everything about it. Your PL/SQL work will involve some SQL statements. But if you understand joins and aggregate functions, then you probably have enough to take the course.
