Yeah, although it's more of a broad survey of DB-related topics, so the
internals coverage isn't that in-depth. It talks about storage/indexing
(the heap, ISAM/B+-tree indexes, hash indexes, etc.), query evaluation,
query optimization, transaction management & concurrency control.
That book just happens to be the one on my desk, but there are plenty of
alternatives that cover the same subject matter.
Perhaps you could add this to the developer's FAQ?
