A streaming database management system may provide support for creating a new continuous query operator for on-the-fly addition of a new query, e.g., a new SQL query and/or new continuous query operator, into a shared continuous query plan. Alternatively, the streaming database management system may associate the new query on-the-fly with an existing continuous query operator, such as a relational operator and expression evaluator, to reuse the existing continuous query operator. In some embodiments, multiple operators are grouped for on-the-fly addition to the shared continuous query plan. Alternatively, the streaming database management system may identify a group of multiple operators in the shared continuous query plan for reuse by the new query.

Systems and methods for managing queries

Systems, methods, and media are disclosed herein that can be embodied in a traditional Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in order to transform it into a Streaming Relational Database Management System (SRDBMS). An SRDBMS may provide functionality such as to manage and populate streams, tables, and archived stream histories and support the evaluation of continuous queries on streams and tables. Both continuous and snapshot queries support the full spectrum of the industry standard, widely used, Structured Query Language. The present technology can support a high number of concurrent continuous queries using a scalable and efficient shared query evaluation scheme, support on-the-fly addition of continuous queries into a mechanism that implements the shared evaluation scheme, reuse RDBMS modules such as relational operators and expression evaluators, and visualize results of continuous queries in real time.
