For 10 years I've looked and never found one. I find Chris Date pedantic. The rest are a mish-mash of cookbooks, vendor-specific ones, and some that try to be the general guide you're looking for but collapse beneath the weight of hundreds of pages of prose that seems to have been written by a committee of robots.
