| Does any of you know a way to access mysql databases from Compaq
Cobol? Or the other way 'round: Does someone know about another cobol
compiler running on Unix or VMS that's able to do that job?

Thank you so far. But I must admit that I don't have any clue how to
set up ODBC on a unix machine (on the same as the mysql server is running
on) and how to code that access on VMS Cobol. Is there any tutorial out
there? I did not found any on the web.
Thank you

Start by getting unixODBC form unixodbc.org and read the documentation
that comes with it.

I have no idea, nor even that anything on VMS could access ODBC or any
version of MySQL.
You may even have to tier your program so that there is a MySQL
accessing program running on the MySQL server that sends data back to
your program.

One way to do ODBC access on OpenVMS is with CONNX
