Thanks. I did take another quick look at Pro Drupal Dev and see I forgot the chapter on DBs. Must re-read. I would recommend this FREE online course at Stanford too. https://www.coursera.org/course/db Starts tomorrow actually. It is really an excellent resource and can be revisited whenever in the future.

Pretty much the books others have said. 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:
https://drupal.org/developing/api/database
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.
