Hi Joe,

Having taught these courses for many years, the amount of SQL knowledge assumed for the first PL/SQL course is pretty trivial. A basic understanding of SELECT, being able to restrict, sort and aggregate data, basic DML and that's about it. Someone with several years of SQL would be more than capable.

Good Luck
