PostgreSQL comes with ecpg which is a "pre-processor" to handle embedded
EXEC SQL startements in C (OK, you already know that). I am wondering if
anyone knows of any such program for other compiled languages, in
particular GNU COBOL or ADA? (please don't shudder, I have my reasons as
strange as they may be). If not, I may try to "hack" up something using
ecpg as a model. But I'm not confident that I have the talent / knowledge /
experience to be able to do that.

Thanks.

5.4 Does GnuCOBOL support any SQL databases?

Yes. There are embedded SQL engines for GnuCOBOL and PostgreSQL, Oracle, and
Firebird. There has also been efforts made for accessing DB2.

My thanks. I didn't think to look at OpenCOBOL, just GNU and just couldn't
seem to find anything.

​I'm downloading the FireBird code now to see how they did it. I didn't do
very well in the "Compiler Theory" class in college. I'm a tad better now,
but not even a novice really. ​
