Provided herein are systems and methods for a stream object configuration, including configuring and processing streams on views and streams on tables. For example, a method includes parsing, by at least one hardware processor, a received query to determine a plurality of data processing operations associated with a base table. A stream object on the base table is generated. The stream object includes a plurality of query results from executing the plurality of data processing operations and a corresponding plurality of time stamps of times the plurality of query results are obtained. A stream expansion of the stream object is performed. The stream expansion is based on computing changes to the base table from the plurality of data processing operations.
