Looking at the responses to this question, I guess none of you use Oracle with
Pro*Cobol, thanks for your time anyway.

Hello Vince,

AFAIK Oracle XE does not include Pro*COBOL.
You must install Oracle client for 10 or 11.
Have you tried www.cobol-it.com?

What is your motivation?

Cheers

I wish to link in access to Mysql and later Oracle using standard procedures
via EXEC etc. I was hoping it would not take a large effort as the application
source code has been made open source.

Using Cobol-IT is not really an option as they do not provide the source code
to their binaries but only to the original code and yes they are breaking the
GPL license.
