There's not really a specialized book, as there really isn't
anything specialized with how Drupal handles databases. That's
mostly due to the fact that Drupal is able to function on
different databases. The database documentation on DO is really
some of the best too:<br>

For more generic reading, anything on PDO will be really helpful,
as it will give you the basic idea of how PHP and databases
communicate. Also any general MySQL book to help learn the basic
ideas behind relations, transactions and building optimized
queries. <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
