To access an Oracle database, you use a high-level query language called Structured Query Language (SQL). You often use SQL through an interactive interface, such as SQL*Plus. Pro*COBOL is a programming tool that enables you to embed SQL statements in a COBOL program. The Pro*COBOL precompiler converts the SQL statements in the COBOL program into standard Oracle run-time library calls.

I am migrating Pro*COBOL and Pro*C (code with embedded SQL) to Java. Am I right that I should move migrate all of the embedded SQL to JDBC calls? Or is there a sort of "Pro*Java" way that Oracle would recommend? What is the usual best practice?
