SQL is certainly a mandatory knowledge in case you plan to get into Database management. Both SQL-Server and Oracle need thorough SQL knowledge. Oracle is a good subject to pursue since a PL/SQL programmer with additional DBA abilities will give you a good starting point.
Get in touch with the Oracle University, and try to pick and choose the exact course that you wish. I will suggest the Developer track since beginners get an advantage with it. And while you prepare for the certification, prefer an institute like SQL-Star who have a reputation. All the best!
