Illustrative embodiments provide a computer-implemented method for hybrid push/pull of continuous structured query language queries. The computer-implemented method receives stream input, wherein the stream input comprises events of interest, builds and a state machine and stream plans, based on an original query, and replicates the stream input. Responsive to a push sub-query trigger, the computer-implemented method submits a pull sub-query to the database to produce a result, and sends the result to a requester.
