If you're a seasoned programmer you probably don't need my advice. The problem is not databases, it's an understanding of how data in general can be handled: most RDBS systems are really just clever and intensive applications of balanced trees. The archetypal books are Knuth: _Art of Computer Programming_ once you've looked at those try Aho, Ullman, Hopcroft: _Data Structures and Algorithms_ but these days you can learn a hell of a lot just Googling for 'introduction theory RDBS' or variations on it. Textbooks might be obsolete. And I'm sorry but I learned this stuff so long ago I can no longer evaluate which books are good at teaching it: I can't put myself in the shoes of a learner.
