How can I use NServiceBus with a database instead of MSMQ

Is it possible to use NServiceBus with a database as the queue storage instead of MSMQ? If so, how can I get started and what are the pros and cons of using a database instead of MSMQ?

If you want to use something other than MSMQ you'll have to plug in your own ITransport. I would take a look at the NSB Contrib project on GitHub, there is an implementation of of ITransport for the SQL Server Broker(messaging).

The cons I see for using a database includes cost and maintenance overhead. MSMQ comes with the OS for free and most admins have the skills to maintain it. Once you get in a DB, you have to pay for it and find someone to maintain it. This starts out ok, but once you get into multiple environments and things like clustering, licensing gets out of control.
