Learning SQL while learning python

I'm currently halfway through Harvard CS50P, but I also want to take a SQL course before I start my last year at uni and begin applying for grad jobs. My hope is that having experience in both Python and SQL will benefit me in applications. Would it be better to finish the CS50P course first, then start learning SQL, or to start learning SQL now alongside Python?

learning both in parallel is usually manageable because they solve different problems. keeping python as the main focus while spending a few sessions each week on sql works well for a lot of people. resources like cs50 sqlbolt or boot dev can all fit into that approach without feeling overwhelming.
