We have developed an application written in COBOL that works fine
with Postgresql. Since our aim was to create an application that can
communicate to almost any database we used ODBC. We are using MicroFocus
NetExpress 3.1 and although we are constantly testing application with
MsSql server, Oracle and Interbase, our primary target is PostgreSql.
So, the answer is Yes, ODBC is the solution here, if your target OS is
Windows, don't know for UNIX systems.
