   I believe the available pre-compilers (database and language combos)   
   for VMS are:   
      
   Oracle DB - Cobol, C, Fortran [support is ended, will never be on x86-64]   
   Oracle Rdb - Cobol, C, Pascal, Fortran [not on x86-64 yet but coming]   
   Mimer - Cobol, C, Fortran   
   ? via SQLRelay - Cobol, C   
   any database with JDBC driver - Java [unsupported]
