Ad Hoc reporting is an advantage but if that is the application I would use the SQL based database stand-alone without COBOL.You are correct, I don't really _need_ to go to an SQL. What I am really looking for is an easy way to get ODBC. Thinking about this further, the extra SQL layerwill probably slow things down unacceptably.
So what I really want to do is to be able to periodically synchronize some fields in one COBOL table with an SQL table. I could probably do this externally in perl or else use something like libdbi to do it in COBOL. Then, I can use an SQL (such as
postgres or mySQL) which has an existing ODBC server. Emre.
