Towards a Streaming SQL Standard

Summary: Unifies Oracle’s time-based and StreamBase’s tuple-based stream SQL semantics in one continuum. SPREAD exposes batching and partial-order control, letting users express tunable simultaneity rather than switching between incompatible models. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
