Can anyone personally recommend books /courses on this topic? Was reading DDIA and want to drill deeper into building a rudimentary db from scratch.
I would recommend Harvard's CS165 course [0]. The lecture videos and slides are available, but the projects and setup code is not. However, you can view this as an opportunity to use any programming language that you like and pick your own feature scope.<p>[0] <a href="http://daslab.seas.harvard.edu/classes/cs165/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://daslab.seas.harvard.edu/classes/cs165/index.html</a>
