[rabbitmq-discuss] RabbitMQ Message Publishing and Consuming with Database Operations

Jigar's question is fine.

Key to it though is this phrase "since the messages are already in the
queue".  So, the question is about performing a select operation an
existing queue, seeing it as a store of messages.  That's a database
operation.  As Matthew points out, this is further complicated by our
queues being FIFO.  But it would also be true for other ordered
structures: the select is asking for an out of order retrieval based
on message content (ie. not based on routing metadata).

In instead the question where about to set up a content based
subscription, then the answer would be to create a content based
routing exchange.  But I don't think that's what Jigar meant.

In general, this area is worth further exploration, but we don't have
something OOTB for it.  For a quick solution, a database would
suffice.  Unless I missed something...
