Database
While studying database course(RDBMS) in college I never thought I would end up doing database administration.At that time what we ever thought was doing coding and programming .However I was more into Discrete Mathematics and Data Structure and Operating System rather than Programming languages.
Though I liked the small book called "The Programming in C" by Dennis Ritchie. Its short and sweet.And believe me,it's very very powerful and concise.I never fully leverage it to become a good programmer but I think It can help whosoever wants to be a good programmer.
Now since I m now concerned with database so I would focus on database part.
Back in college days I barely realized that OS ,Data Structure and database are so intimately related but now I realize it do so. They are close kin.And I endorse the fact that theory plays as important role in understanding database as the hands on.
Those times, I had no real exposure to any DBMS apart from few times I played with MS SQL server.Now I work on IBM DB2 so got to know the practical aspect of database course.At that time I thought SQL is such an easy part for DBMS course all we needed to do was few SQL statements like "select * from".
But now it seems the whole world out there to understand. There are hordes of books available on this subject and many resources on internet, just Google any topic and u have plethora of links and some are worth following too :-) Like I just Google "Hash table" and I get a very good article on wikipedia :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table
In a daily life of a DBA a topic like hash table hardly figures but I think One must have deeper understanding of the underlying DBMS, no matter what vendor 's flavor u are working on.
