How to connect a COBOL program to an Oracle database? -
how can cobol program running, on mainframe platform, connect , access oracle database running on different unix platform?
oracle have product embedding sql calls in cobol; it's pro*cobol pre-compiler. find out more.
the snag is, pro*cobol program must reside on oracle server. so, given architecture, need make remote calls. it's been long time since used cobol (literally more 2 decades) thing remember functionality varied across different flavours.
if using flavour based on cobol-85 compiler (or later) has external extension you're in luck, because can write own remote calls. here's cics example. otherwise might need buy something. ets sell product called cobol-rpc: find out more (no warranty implied or intended).
