Ben has simplified sub-queries for me, regex, and many other topics. I feel slow when reading a lot of explanations off the internet, but his explanations are so clear, they make these topics easy to understand.
The "SQL Interview Questions & Answers", which I nearly didn't read, was full of answers I had on how to use CTE, DBMS-Output, temp tables. And then I put them all in a folder that are easy to refer back to.
On top if it all, I don't have to sift through a 10 minute you tube to find the 10 seconds of information I'm looking for. I also get emails from Database Star on topics I didn't even knew I had questions on - like how to manage your time, and book recommendations like "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin.

I think I am one of the guys who joined you almost from the beginning of the launch of your academy (correct me if I am wrong). And, this is the first time in my IT career I have ever subscribed to any site such as yours.
After being with you for some time, I now feel that I have not made any mistake by subscribing to your site. I have learnt a lot by following your site which cannot be described in words. Examples given after each topic are very useful. The videos are simple, informative and easy to understand. There is also a lot of general content which is very useful in developing the subject.
I am extremely grateful to you for that. I am also happy to see you coming up with different flavors of SQL (SQL Server, MySQL & Postgress SQL). It would be easy for a person to refer to one single site for everything. In fact, I am looking forward to detailed stuff related to Oracle DBA and other related topics. Hope, it is on the way.

The brevity of lessons are more manageable and the progression is well designed.

A large content, well structured. High quality video and sound. Good breakdown of difficulties by a succession of videos.

Before I bought the course I mailed you with few questions. AND YOU ANSWERED. Trust me, this is a rare thing...with you answering, I knew you are not a bot.
Your courses are short and full of practical knowledge + you are responsive and you are listening!

Your explanations are so clear and concise that you don’t need to go on and on and on as I have heard others do.
I do like that everything is in one place and I’m not trying to go to five or six different courses or YouTube videos for one topic.

I have been in the IT industry now, for over 40 years. In the late 1990's, I begin to gravitate specifically to Oracle products. In my pursuits of capturing a reliable and coherent source for specific Oracle based knowledge, I have kissed a many frogs.
I say this loud and without anyone persuading me, that Database Star is the finest, most lucid, considerate learning source that I have ever experienced. The gentleman who produces their products (Ben Brumm), actually listens to your input.
He is personable, bright, responsive and provides extremely helpful materials that deal with real world scenarios. I have several people that I peronally mentor and I always refer them to Database Star.
