ANSI is just committees of interested parties.
In the case of databases that's SQL companies.
Standard doesn't mean good.

I find your use of this word interesting.
Perhaps as if theoretical or abstract meant impractical,
instead of "sound", "clear" and "fundamental".
A classic & good beginning is Date's Intro to DB Systems. The classic reference is Gray and Reuter Transaction Processing: Concepts and Techniques. On the other hand Gray never understood the relational model. Berstein has a 2009 edition of Principles of Transaction Processing.
