I am looking for a good book on the math and/or theory behind relational

theory, algebra, or any other books/papers on the mechanics that
databases are built on. I found one book online,
http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~maier/TheoryBook/TRD.html, The Theory of
Relational Databases by David Maier and that is what got me interested
in the foundations of database design and theory.
Thanks,

Dont know any books, but have you read the wikipedia page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory
Its probably more of an intro, but it might have
people/theories/axims/etc that you could find books on.
