Bom dia Jairo. Unfortunately I have no experience with Microfocus Cobol
or Btrieve. I'm copying this to the -hackers mailing list and perhaps
someone will have some suggestions in this area.

In general, Postgres is an RDBMS which is highly compatible with other
RDBMS products. So if you have an RDBMS solution already, then the port
should be pretty easy. If you don't already have an RDBMS in your
system, then you will want to look into the general capabilities and
interface options to make sure that you have a clear path for your
application migration.

Good luck!
