VX/SQL-FORTRAN - FORTRAN with embedded Rdb/SQL to PostgreSQL or Oracle

Overview

VX/SQL-FORTRAN is Sector7's embedded-SQL preprocessor and runtime for FORTRAN applications built on Oracle Rdb and VAX FORTRAN embedded SQL. A drop-in replacement for the Rdb SQL$PRE precompiler, it reads your FORTRAN source, rewrites each EXEC SQL ... END-EXEC block into ordinary FORTRAN calls to the portable libvxsql runtime, and leaves the surrounding program structure and logic unchanged. It is part of the VX/SQL toolset and shares a single runtime with VX/SQL-COBOL and VX/SQL-MODULE.

The preprocessed program links against one database driver chosen at link time, so the same source runs against PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL or MariaDB, SQLite, or any ODBC data source, with PostgreSQL as the reference target. There is no separate precompiler to license and no application rewrite: existing host variables, cursors, dynamic SQL, and SQLCA error handling keep working exactly as they did under Rdb.
