  This java project gives you a glimpse at how it all works. It was extracted out of a now defunkt db vendor (I think?). https://calcite.apache.org/ https://calcite.apache.org/

    Yeah, it came out of the Eigenbase project. (http://luciddb.sourceforge.net/ http://luciddb.sourceforge.net/ and http://www.eigenbase.org http://www.eigenbase.org). DB internals are indeed quite fun. (I worked on LucidDB(https://github.com/LucidDB/luciddb https://github.com/LucidDB/luciddb) for a time.)

  I really liked 'Database in Depth' by C.J. Date.

  The original paper[0] on relational databases by Edgar Codd is quite accessible. I also loved the MOOC by Prof. Jennifer Widom[1] [0] https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~zives/03f/cis550/codd.pdf [1] http://online.stanford.edu/course/databases-self-paced http://online.stanford.edu/course/databases-self-paced

  In addition to the great links from siblings, it might be interesting to read this Stonebraker paper on the cyclical nature of databases and how, ultimately, they all reduce to a few core paradigms.
