There are few advanced SQL books that do not focus on one implementation or another. From the ones I read, I think the following might be interesting: Jim Melton, "SQL: 1999" and "Advanced SQL: 1999". Jim Melton is one of the editors of the SQL standard and this covers the 1999 version of the standard (including parts that are not implemented anywhere :). Dan Tow, "SQL Tuning". The first 5 chapters are about understanding query execution plans and provide a generalized mechanism for finding a fast one. After that it covers some implementations. Philip A. Bernstein, "Concurrency Control and Recovery in Database Systems". Not about SQL, but about database internals. Rather academic, but a must-read if you want to fully understand concurrency and serializability. And of course there is always the much overlooked manual.
