Embedded SQL is a superset of Transact-SQL that lets you embed Transact-SQL statements in application programs written in a language like COBOL. Embedded SQL includes all Transact-SQL statements, and the extensions needed to use Transact-SQL in an application.
Embedded SQL/COBOL provides a simple way to retrieve, insert, or modify data stored in any Adaptive Server database.
See the Open Server and SDK New Features for Windows, Linux, and UNIX for a list of operating system platforms where the Open Client Embedded SQL/COBOL is available.
