Database object type for querying and transactional consumption of changes in queries results

Abstract:

Provided herein are systems and methods for a stream object configuration, including configuring and processing streams on views. For example, a method includes detecting a first stream object on a view. The view includes a query associated with a source table. A syntax tree of the query is determined based on a definition of the view. The view is expanded based on replacing the first stream object with the syntax tree. The syntax tree includes a second stream object on the source table. Stream expansion of the second stream object is performed based on computing changes on the source table.
