1. A method of transforming relational queries of a database into stream processing on a data processing system, the method comprising: receiving a series of relational database queries that are configured to be executed against a relational database; separating each query into a relational query pattern common to all the queries and a parameter that is not common to all the queries; transforming the relational query pattern into a continuous query that is embodied as a streaming application; sending the parameter to the streaming application as a data stream; and executing, by a processor, the continuous query against a relational database of a computer system based on the received data stream to generate query results for the series of relational queries.
