Question 1

Is SQL Stream Store still maintained?

Accepted Answer

No, the README indicates that SQL Stream Store is no longer actively maintained, so it won't receive updates or bug fixes, making it risky for long-term or new projects.

Question 2

What databases does SQL Stream Store support?

Accepted Answer

It supports MS SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and includes an in-memory version for testing. However, Sqlite support is not yet implemented and is marked as 'up for grabs' in the README.

Question 3

SQL Stream Store vs EventStore: which should I use for .NET?

Accepted Answer

SQL Stream Store is better if you prefer SQL databases and want easy integration with existing systems, while EventStore is a full-featured, specialized event store with more scalability options but higher complexity. Consider maintenance status, as SQL Stream Store is not actively updated.

Question 4

How to set up subscriptions in SQL Stream Store?

Accepted Answer

Subscriptions are eventually consistent and handled through the async API. You need to configure them in your code to listen for new events, typically for building read models or projections, as described in the design considerations.

Question 5

Can I use SQL Stream Store with NoSQL databases?

Accepted Answer

No, SQL Stream Store is designed specifically for SQL-based RDBMS and does not support NoSQL databases. Its SQL-first approach means it's optimized only for relational databases.

Question 6

What are the performance implications of eventually consistent subscriptions?

Accepted Answer

Eventually consistent subscriptions improve scalability and reduce blocking but may not be suitable for real-time processing where immediate consistency is required, as noted in the README's design considerations.
