Do I need-to/should learn SQL before learning graphql?

Question

See more:

I will start using postgress and latter a combination of postgress-and-mongodb or postgress-and-firebase etc etc.
The problem is i found a good udemy course on Postgress but that course name is "SQL and PostgreSQL" so that include SQL too, but i will use graphQl (obviously i will learn graphql after learning postgreSQL as I'm unable to find GraphQL-with-PostgreSQL).

So my Question is:
1. Will my time and effort of learning the part of SQL will be in vain?
2. Or Is it best advice to learn SQL first?

What I have tried:

I researched a lot but couldnt get the specific information

The open-source tool Space Cloud claims you can do everything without using SQL, see:
Instant GraphQL APIs on Postgres[^]
However SQL is hard to avoid in the database landscape and I would recommend learning the basics.
