This repo contains a list of resources that are hopefully useful for people who want to learn more about database systems. Resources include papers, university courses, blog posts, talks, and other sources.
The CMU Database Group have put video lectures and other resources from two of their courses online. They've even provided Gradescope access for non-CMU students so that you can submit assignments and have them assessed by the autograder.
This course covers more advanced topics in database system internals, including in-memory database systems, OLAP systems, etc.
MIT has a course on Database Systems available on OpenCourseWare. There's not much there, but there are lecture notes that follow readings from the famous Red Book.
Prof. Immanuel Trummer has put a bunch of great lectures online. These are especially useful if you're reading Database Management Systems by Ramakrishnan et al.
