Yes but COBOL doesn't send "SQL commands", it sends BLR. Now while one has
the ability to use Dynamic SQL
 in COBOL or most other 3GLs, it is definitely the exception rather than the
rule.

I have to say that I don't recall ever having seen an Rdb pre-compiler or
module process syntax for JAVA so I'm guessing that JAVA doesn't have
anything better than JDBC in this space; am I correct?

Do you care to revise that statement?
