This is a cool idea. Its good to see that SQL is a driver in new data management technologies. It supports the idea that as applications change over the years, the data model should try to remain the same. My view is that it's always a good idea to wait until a data management platform or db is widely adopted before using it for anything. For some reason I don't like the idea of using the word 'realtime' for what's really just very fast queries but that may be nitpicking. I think of real-time as something where you're given a real-time view of some data where you don't have to query for updates.
