Buy Database Internals: A Deep-Dive Into How Distributed Data Systems Work by Petrov, Alex online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: There are two infinitely big and comparably old topics in software engineering: compilers and databases. Both have traditions and history, both are recognised as deep research topics, with developers and academics working on related problems for decades. It's really hard to get an overview of the way databases work, given how diverse and, well, *big* they really are. Decades of practical experience don't mean one has a clear understanding of query processing, optimisation, storage subsystems, transaction processing, concurrency control, etc. Sometimes, just sometimes, mortals get lucky and somebody writes a survey of a subfield, or an extended overview, of relevant problems. Best example I am aware of: the Red Book aka Readings in Database Systems. It's a vast survey of academic work on databases. But it's more of a collection of paper references than a linear reading. Database Internals also feels a bit like an extended survey: numerous paper references are, no code, mostly conceptual explanations. What stands out is its good linear narration, gradually coming up with definitions and clarifying explanations. So, what this book is not: introductory text, a textbook, theory-centric volume or practise-centric work. What this book is: a survey of typical approaches to two major aspects of databases (local storage subsystems and problems of distributed systems). Interested reader will have to follow the references, casual reader will get familiar with terminology and common concepts in a condensed way. I would (and definitely will) recommend the book to people already working with databases for at least a few years looking for additional insights or an overview of the field. Review: Amazing book, in my top 3 technical books. I learned a lot, it goes really deep and explains everything very well. I would suggest to have at least a good understanding of database basics before starting though (indexes, distributed systems)

Really is a great book. If you want to understand why your databases behave the way that they do, and so be able to tune and troubleshoot, then this is the book for you. Strongly recommend.
