How about a book that teaches how to program a database engine. Not an
academic text book which mixes theory along with overviews of
datastructures and algorithms. I mean a book which teaches how to
build a complete DB (sql parser, query engine, file handler, etc.)
Perhaps something modeled on the MINIX 3 operating system kernel and
the book which explains it in detail: "Operating Systems Design and
Implementation, 3/E" by Tanenbaum and Woodhull. I don't expect the
final software to compete against Oracle, but it should not be merely
an academic excercise either!
uh...this has little to do with the original poster's question or
CELKO's idea...but I wanted to put this idea out before I forget :)
