      Fundamentals of Database Systems by Ramez Elmasri and Shamkant B. Navathe [1] is what I used in my undergraduate course in computer science. I would take a look at the table of contents to see if it has most of what you want. I know it at least has relational algebra and indexing data structures and algorithms.

      [1]: Fundamentals of Database Systems (7th Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0133970779/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i1r5...

      Fundamentals of Database Systems (which is an academic textbook, check Abebooks) covers a lot of this along with underlying design. I'm going through it now for a DB class.

      "Fundamentals of Database Systems". Hashing schemes and so on. I thought I had come up with some neat stuff, it seemed to work real fast, showed my diagrams to a friend and he showed me identical ones from his classes.

      Edit: Sorry I had made an edit and was referring to another book. The book my dad wrote was called NetPower. Was a collection of links, gopher servers, etc.
