Oracle has a vast number of products and applications. It will be difficult to pinpoint one way or the other. But normally the following would apply. In any case, oracle itself has a education portal, which you can refer to.
You need to know SQL, PL/SQL
If you're planning to do front-end programming, Developer 2000, Forms 6x could be useful. Else, if you're into multi-tier, internet programming, SQLJ, JServer could be the way to go. You might want to go into Oracle Designer in case you want to design applications using CASE tools.

Have fun discovering Oracle.
