This comment gave me a flashback to Celko's SQL for Smarties. I believe the updated books are split off into a few smaller books? But the section/book on trees in a relational database helped me greatly once in a galaxy far far aw

I don't know what life is like where you live but working at a library might solve your need for a group-quiet-focus space. You might also find networking with locals an improvement at the local church or school parent's committee
