Hey HN,<p>I was wondering if there is a book on building databases that's written in a similar fashion to "Crafting Interpreters". A book that would teach you about databases while having you build one yourself.
I used this back in the day - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/C-Database-Development-Al-Stevens/dp/1558283579/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.amazon.com/C-Database-Development-Al-Stevens/dp/...</a>
Not a book but here's a list of resources for getting started with database development.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/unj8d1/getting_started_with_database_development/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.reddit.com/r/databasedevelopment/comments/unj8d1...</a>
There is <a href="https://build-your-own.org/database/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://build-your-own.org/database/</a> it was recently announced as finished by the author iirc.
