But your whole goal was to write COBOL, just using C# syntax. You're
throwing out most of the benefits of the last 40 years of computer science.

> inline SQL supported?

I understand this to mean that you can set the text of a query in the code,
rather than calling a stored proc. I know nothing about any .Net
implementations of COBOL. But assuming that it's CLI compliant, you've got
no worries at all in this respect. It's a function of ADO.Net, and yes, it's
supported.

There are some who disagree with my stance on SPs (i.e., they're required in
all cases), but if you're working on my team, I wouldn't let you do your
inline SQL, either. It's more maintenance headaches, it blurs the
architectural lines, and it's difficult to avoid vulnerabilities to
injection attacks.
