I downloaded Fujitsu cobol but it is not working with SQL as I have a student version...I came to know that I can get a cobol compiler with sql if i buy a book "Db2 for Cobol Programmer"...Is there any other way, I can download free cobol compiler with features of sql?

According to the version 8 Application Development Guide, these are the supported COBOL compilers for DB2 on Windows:

Micro Focus COBOL Version 4.0.20
Micro Focus COBOL Net Express Version 3.1.0
IBM VisualAge COBOL Version 2.0

On AIX the following are listed:

IBM COBOL Set for AIX Version 1.1
Micro Focus COBOL Server Express Version 2.0.10

Check the manual for other platforms.

I suppose that it is "possible" that some unsupported compliers work.
