AcuXDBC™ is a data management system, designed to integrate ACUCOBOL-GT data files into a relational database-like environment. AcuXDBC enables you to apply SQL and relational database concepts to your COBOL data files, resulting in data that is accessed and managed in much the same way as many of today's popular relational database management systems.
AcuXDBC is the next generation of AcuODBC and is engineered to provide broader flexibility in the way your COBOL data is accessed and maintained. Like previous versions of AcuODBC, AcuXDBC lets you retrieve and update ACUCOBOL-GT's Vision indexed files, relative files, and sequential files from Windows-based applications, including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Access. Business Intelligence tools such as Crystal Reports® Professional, and custom applications developed in ODBC-supported environments such as Visual Basic® are supported as well. With the enterprise edition, new functionality lets you retrieve data through Java applications that use JDBC standards. Direct SQL access to your ACUCOBOL-GT data is now available in both the Windows and UNIX environments.
