Hello,

          I would like to ask whether it is possible for me to directly access/insert record to MySQL using COBOL program without using AcuSQL/Acu4GL to compile it? Since, my client are asking about the possibility to do it.

 

Thanks in advance for the reply.

    Not that I know of. Acu4GL takes COBOL File I-O and transforms it into SQL, and sends those SQL statements to the MySQL database. AcuSQL takes COBOL SQL statemtns and calls the database (typically through a database or ODBC driver) to place and retrieve data from MySQL.

    Is there a COBOL example that use AcuSQL in documentation ?
    Is it possibile to test the product without the commercial licence ?

    Thanks

    If you install AcuSQL, there are sample programs, including a sample for MySQL. On Windows, it is fairly straight forward as MySQL provides an ODBC driver and you use runtime configuration variable to point to the MySQL Data Source Name.
    You can contact Sales to get an evaluation or temporary license.
