The ABCs of Database Administration (Cribside Careers)

By Poppy North

From A to Z, this playful alphabet book turns database administration into a story kids can enjoy and grown-ups will instantly recognize.

Each letter introduces a core concept of working with databases, from Audit Logs and Batch Processing to YAML Configs and Zone Redundancy. Along the way, young readers will discover Deadlocks, Foreign Keys, JOINs, Partitions, Rollbacks, and more. With simple language, witty nods to production incidents and late-night query tuning, it is a fast, fun read that doubles as a surprisingly sharp primer on how databases actually work.

Perfect as a gift for DBAs, data engineers, and anyone who has ever debugged a nested query at 2 a.m., this is an ABCs book with just enough truth to make you laugh.
