Обсуждение: precompilers
We are evaluating open source databases for use within our organization. Can anyone tell me if postgresql have a precompiler for Micro focus Cobol for Unix V 4.1 revision 040? Is there a list of these someplace? I poked around on the postgres site.
Thanks

A few years back I wrote a driver which linked to the AcuCorp AcuCobol runtime that allowed PostgreSQL to appear as a ISAM filesystem. I've never heard of PostgreSQL running as a backend for cobol in any other context (except for perhaps some odbc wrappers). merlin

I see some people mentioning they were using Micro Focus cobol and Postgres: http://search.postgresql.org/search?q=cobol+micro+focus&m=1&l=&d=-1&s=r -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

PostgreSQL has some unique features (advisory locks for example) that make it a really great backend for ISAM style apps. You can solve this over straight odbc, with a performance cost. This is why a native solution would be greatly preferred. I'm still working on my old company to allow me to release the ISAM project code. It was written for Acucorp, but would work with minimal changes for MF cobol, their linking interfaces are similar (MF is actually much better). merlin
