Agree, C.J. Date books are classic. Check this page: http://www.pgro.uk7.net/books.htm
To start with, this book is probably the best:
An Introduction to Database Systems
It's horribly expensive but used copies are quite affordable.
Also check a web site from where C.J. Date with his friend Fabian Pascal wage a war against OOP, XML and the IT industry as a whole.
