Are you looking for books about database admin?
You need to specify which database. Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Postgres, ...
They all have different underlying methods of storage and controlling data.
Even though they all work with SQL in similar ways.

Or writing SQL queries?
SQL From the Ground up, by Pyefinch was pretty good.

Or writing Procedural SQL?
-Nothing basic about that.

Or programming C# or C++ against a database?
-Not my field, someone else here will have to speak to that.

You might want to be more specific as to what your goal might be.

Is your objective simply to learn more about what is inside a database?
Relational Database Design by Harrington
Database Administration by Mullins

I've also had pretty good luck with integration books like "Oracle and Microsoft SQL server integration" because they tend to expose things I wouldn't otherwise have found out through comparison.

What's your poison?
