Hello, We are in the context of Oracle to PostgreSQL migration testing, we are in the process to realise a POC with Cobol progs accessing PostgreSQL;

We currently use Oracle's unix precompiler , does it exist an equivalent  precompiler for PostgreSQL or do we have to use ODBC precompiler ? thanks for my   beginner's  question !
