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.
