Tutorials: SQL Server COBOL Stored Procedures

Using the SQL CLR Integration feature in Visual COBOL, you can code stored procedures, user-defined functions, aggregates, triggers, and user-defined types that contain EXEC SQL statements, and compile the code using the OpenESQL preprocessor.

The scenario that represents the most common and best use of the SQL CLR Integration feature in Visual COBOL is that of creating a SQL CLR stored procedure for OpenESQL and calling it from an OpenESQL application. Here, we provide a series of tutorials that lead you through this processes.
