Cobol can reach Oracle?

Hi everybody!

I'm wondering if Cobol can reach Oracle db.

I've got web services java working on Oracle DB, but I would to convert the services into host cobol batch. Can these cobol batch read the data on a Oracle DB?

Or Oracle is only for java application?

Thanks in advance for the answers.

There is a Cobol pre-compiler available for Oracle:

So the answer is: yes you can connect to Oracle with a COBOL program.
