Wonderful list! The C-Store papers are particularly fine reading.

For people who looked at this wanting to get going with using database systems (as opposed to creating them), I'd recommend:

    Learning SQL by Alan Beaulieu
    SQL Performance Explained by Markus Winand
    SQL Cookbook by Anthony Molinaro
The three of these will take you up to a pretty useful level of SQL knowledge/understanding. The first two are fairly easy reading to boot.
