Re-Ask HN: Any good books/lectures for database systems implementation?

Posted by zerr on Saturday September 21, 2013 @03:11PM
from the self-post dept.

So I'm interested in database systems implementation, nut just using an existing DB.

Topics such as DB kernel engineering, ACID implementation, Query optimization and processing, Logic databases implementation, distributed databases, sharding impl, etc...

Any good starting point for self-teaching?

These are pretty good courses, with nice links to good papers/assignments.

Brilliant! Thanks so much! In this list, I realized that Stanford's course is the best of all!

You might look at books by Michael Stonebraker, such as:

www.amazon.com/Readings-Database-Systems-Joseph-Hellerstein/dp/0262693143/ www.amazon.com/The-Ingres-Papers-Relational-Addison-Wesley/dp/0201071851/

To be fair, I've not read these books; I attended a lecture of his at MIT, and he seemed to really know his stuff. If I wanted to study DB implementation, I'd start with his writings.
