 just from my personaly curiosity. since i am a computer programmer that working with DB system every day (mysql , postgres).

i have not theory background on DB systems, just want to know internal of DB systems.

i have checked http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/dscbsols/sols.html , looks realy good from table content. any one actully own that book? if so, is that book include source code for a DB systems? i am not mean ER-digram, or data modling sql statements.

i have leart built a toy compiler by myself with some great books, so now i can actully read real world compiler source code (php) and modifiy it. that help me a lot.

what i need is books teching me basic stuff, like those compiler books did for me. then i can start understanding source code of real DB systems (mysql , postgres).
