MySQL can be accessed using ODBC or unixODBC and so any Cobol that can
use this can access it. eg Fujitsu Cobol for Linux.

In my experience the MySQL should be running with transactions enabled.
This required very late version 3 or version 4 and InnoDB tables. Later
versions of MySQL have probably changed again.
