Wait! Before you go...
Your database design, reviewed.
Send me your database design. I'll review it and offer feedback and recommendations.
A personal async database design review, delivered within 5 business days.
You've got a database design you're working on.
Maybe you've followed some steps, and it looks right to you, but you're not fully confident. Maybe you're not sure if you've set up the relationships correctly. Maybe this is your first time designing a database and you want someone to check your work before you build on top of it.
You want a second opinion from someone who can look at what you've built and tell you honestly what's good and what needs work.
That's what this is for.
I'll personally review your database design.
You send me your design and some context about what you're trying to build. I'll go through it, record a personal video walkthrough with my feedback and any recommendations, and send you a written summary.
You get a real answer about your specific design. Not general advice about normalisation. A genuine review of what you've submitted.
What You Submit
When you purchase, you'll get an email with instructions. You'll share:
- Your database design: as SQL, a diagram, or a plain-text description of your tables and columns
- Your requirements, or a brief description of what your database needs to store and do
That's it. No call or meeting required.
What You Get Back
Within 5 business days, I'll send you:
- A personal screen recording video, walking through your database design with my feedback and any recommendations

Submit the details at your own pace. I'll be in touch once I've completed the review.
"A good investment"
"Your Write Faster SQL course is a good investment. The approach is interesting in that you are showing the same lessons against 4 different database engines. That helps developers understand the bigger picture rather than just âhow toâ for their most common/only database"
- Doug T, course student
"Reduced our cloud costs"
"After the Database Star training, I did identify all the worst running queries on my production databases and fixed them and that reduced our cloud costs."
- David B, course student
"Best training material on SQL anywhere"
"Itâs the best training material on SQL anywhere. You have a rare gift for making the complex simple. Thank you for all you do!"
- Brad C, course student
A Note on Availability
I take on a small number of reviews each week to make sure each one gets proper attention.
If spots are currently full, you'll be notified when a new slot opens.
Who This Is For
This is for developers, analysts, and anyone building a database who wants a genuine second opinion on their design before they build on top of it.
It's not a course or a coaching call. It's a focused review of your specific design, with personal feedback from someone who's been working with databases for years.
What About Confidentiality?
Everything you share with me stays between us.
I don't share designs, requirements, or any submission details with anyone. If your company's policies are a concern, you're welcome to anonymise your table and column names before submitting. The review doesn't depend on them being real.

Frequently Asked Questions
What format can I submit my design in?
SQL scripts, a diagram (such as an ERD), or a plain-text description of your tables and columns all work. Use whatever you have.
What if my design is complex or involves many tables?
That's fine. Include some context about what you're trying to build, and I'll work through it.
What if I don't have formal requirements written down?
A plain description works. Something like "I'm building a system to track customer orders and their products" gives me what I need.
Which databases do you support?
The design process applies to any relational database. If you're converting the design to SQL, I focus on Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.
Can I submit more than one design?
This covers one design per purchase. If you have multiple designs to review, you're welcome to purchase again.
What if I'm not happy with the review?
If the feedback isn't useful, get in touch and I'll do my best to make it right.
