Since 1999, I've been editing the
Database Principles
Column of
SIGMOD Record
which publishes surveys of recent results that appear in database theory
publications (such as ACM
PODS
or
ICDT) in a form suitable for the larger
audience of the
Record.
Some of the best database theoreticians (and not only database
theoreticians) contributed papers on many different aspects of
databases. All of them can be found here.
