It wouldn't hurt, but they are two separate domains and I don't think it
would aid you in achieving your goal. And yes, there are connections
between them but there are connections between virtually everything in
technology.

If you want to be a full-time Oracle SQL developer then I would suggest you
learn database design, SQL development, and PL/SQL development. Good luck
to you, and congrats on passing the SQL Expert exam; I hear it's tricky.
