A set of database lectures from Carnegie Mellon University's database group, covering both an introductory course and an advanced course, along with recorded presentations and talks about industry database products. The lectures are posted on the group's YouTube channel.
Commenters call the lectures very useful and point to them as a free online alternative to a database textbook, covering both intro and advanced material.

Not a book, but I recommend the database class lectures from @apavlo's group at CMU.

All the classes (intro and advanced) are online, as well as presentations and lectures about industry products.
They are very useful.
Also, from a more high level theoretical CS and less physical-implementation focused POV, the "Alice" book ("Foundations of Databases") is amazing (though very dense and mathematical). Focuses on the relational algebra and Datalog (and the translation of that into the Rel Algebra). Getting print copies is hard now (my used copy arrived with a broken spine and pages falling out), but the entire book is online: http://webdam.inria.fr/Alice/
