Hi, @GitMensch
I am Himo, a founding member of @opensourcecobol. Thank you for your suggestion on this issue and I also appreciate your frequent comments on our activities on Github.
We have recently resumed development of OCESQL because we need to fix bugs in existing projects that are in production and enhancements to new projects moving from the mainframe. We know GixSQL and understand that it is a better alternative, but it is not easy for us to drop OCESQL itself at this time, since these projects are ongoing. This matter needs to be discussed further with other members and those projects. It will takes more time but I will keep you updated.
Thank you.

Thank you for the response. Actually I'm working on a previously failed proof-of-concept with OCESQL (the increasing memory issues with COMP-3 was its dead, the error handling "syntax error - find out any details yourself" + "just skip generation" were hard points before) now moving to GIXSQL - and during this conversion GIXSQL was tested for OCESQL compatibility and got adjustments (you can just replace ocesql
by gixsql
[or symlink it] to ease the precompile parts, syntax works nearly identical [if not the author works on it], ...).
The possibly biggest detail view for you on GixSQL would be verifying (and/or fixing) support for NATIONAL / Japanese data, other than that it should "just work already".
If you still come to the conclusion that it is better to invest the time into OCESQL then I could send PRs to fix some of the issues I've fixed locally, but as I've published those as GPLv3+/LGPLv3+ it would be good to have this part done on your side before.
... but I'd prefer that both you and me work on GixSQL instead as those bugs are fixed there already and open feature requests here are also already available there.
Let's stay in contact one way or the other and thanks again for your response.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Your story is very helpful as we need to evaluate GixSQL before we reach to any conclusions.
As for the license issue, @ytr-sakamoto is soon going to replace COPYING files and rewrite related comments on the codes soon as we have already decided to move to GPLv3 / LGPLv3. Regardless of whether we move to GixSQL or not, we need to complete the OCESQL development currently working on. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated, as it will help us to complete the next release.
I will keep in touch.
