Database Access Through InstantSQL™
InstantSQL provides a simplified but high performance way of using popular relational databases directly from within your RM/COBOL application. Unlike other techniques, such as embedded SQL, InstantSQL brings most of the advantages of dynamic SQL to bear without the complexity of directly calling the native database API or its ODBC counterpart. Based on ODBC, InstantSQL allows many direct ODBC functions to be called as well, for those instances where more complex functionality is desired. InstantSQL is available as a free add-on to RM/COBOL 7, and the Instant SQL runtime component is freely distributable as well.

InstantSQL™ Jumpstart Kit for 32-bit Windows and UNIX
InstantSQL is Liant Software's solution for easy access to databases using Structured Query Language (SQL) from RM/COBOL. InstantSQL provides SQL connectivity from RM/COBOL applications to any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant data source, including Relativity data sources. InstantSQL is implemented at compile time with a set of copy files and at runtime with a dynamic link library (DLL). A downloadable version of InstantSQL is available here
