on “Book list for streetfighting computer scientists (2022)” ↗It's a topic that you'll experience halfway through a graduate-level textbook on databases like Elmasri's Fundamentals of Database Systems. No gentle way to do it, and a student has probably been driven away or not well before they read about it.
on “A Tiny Intro to Database Systems” ↗There are a lot of books on database system design like »Fundamentals of Database Systems« [1] by Elmasri and Navathe. The reason there is no such thing as a simple tutorial is because any serious attempt to build a database system will consume on the order of tens or hundreds of men-years…
on “Show HN: NebulaDB, my first attempt at a database” ↗If you’re not familiar with RDBMS, general introductions to SQL and relational algebra should be useful. Back in uni our textbook was Fundamentals of Database Systems[1]. (It’s okay, but there are probably better books out there.) [1] http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/product/Fundamentals...

on “Ask HN: CTM gave CS the “kernel language”. Is there a “kernel database”?” ↗Fundamentals of Database Systems (which is an academic textbook, check Abebooks) covers a lot of this along with underlying design. I'm going through it now for a DB class.
