<<With Cobol things are worse. I do not know any sample, what is worse - noone of FB developers ever used to write a single line using that language. And if I'm not mistaken gpre distributed in binaries does not support cobol.>>
I have some cobol samples - on paper. I have used gpre fairly extensively over the years, but you are right in terms of deprecation, it doesn't support new features and its very long in the tooth. Adding cobol support to Firebird by doing a build isn't complicated, a simple ./configure –with-gpre-cobol make Should do the trick.
