Use Java instead of C, C++ and you are in business using BSF4Rexx.
To evaluate with ooRexx 4.0 you could use the official version of BSF4Rexx at <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/rexx/bsf4rexx/current/>. [There is an "experimental" version (at beta level, but not yet announced) at <http://wi.wu-wien.ac.at/rgf/tmp/20090614_b4r4beta/>, which is rewritten for ooRexx 4.0. This version runs the BSF4Rexx testUnits of lately that a student wrote for the older, "current" version without a failure, so I am pretty confident that it is fully compatible and stable.] Give it a try and start to enjoy what cross-platform Java functionality is directly available to your Rexx programs! In the Java world interfacing with RDBMS is realized with JDBC. If you research a little bit, you will be surprised an overwhelmed what is available to you.
