About Rocket Relativity
Rocket® Relativity® is a data access and modernization solution that brings relational database capabilities to existing COBOL applications without requiring changes to the original code or data structures. It enables organizations to access COBOL data in real time by presenting traditional COBOL files as relational data sources, allowing developers and business users to query and analyze information using standard SQL through ODBC or JDBC connectivity. This approach ensures that users work with the exact same live data as the COBOL application, rather than relying on replicated or outdated copies, preserving accuracy and consistency across systems. It supports integration with modern analytics and reporting tools such as Microsoft Excel, as well as business intelligence, data warehousing, and ETL processes, expanding the usability of legacy data across contemporary environments.
