It’s out of date and probably has less detail than I remember but I got a lot out of “Inside Microsoft SQL Server 7.0” which does deep dives into storage architecture, indices, query planning etc from an MSSQL specific POV. The book was updated for SQL Server 2003 and 2008. Obviously the book also has a ton of stuff about MS specific features and admin functionality that’s not really relevant, and I’m sure there are better resources out there, but I’ve found the background from that book has helped me understand the innards of Oracle, MySQL, and Postgres in the years since.
