Yes, by using Btrieve engine we can access pervasive database via cobol dlls. This will be better and very fast too.
We had a major product being developed with Fujitsu COBOL and the Pervasive data base engine a year ago but my company was sold and the project was cancelled. However, I think Pervasive is a very good data base to build an application with. It provides server engines on the most popular platforms plus a single user engine for stand alone applications. Also, it allows you to access your data base tables via the API level using Btrieve calls which are very fast, plus the pricing was good if you plan on reselling your product. We had no trouble with it running the data base on Novell or under Windows and using the ODBC interface.
