What people on Hacker News said
"Transaction Processing" is a great book for thinking about whole systems in a practical way and really covers a lot of stuff that one would otherwise have to learn by bitter experience.
Understanding the fundamental challenges of transaction processing helps you avoid massive misadventures when dealing with databases or concurrent / multithreaded systems.
“Transaction Processing: Concepts and Techniques” by Jim Gray & Andreas Reuter. Rightly the Bible of database systems.
