Not sure what “embedded SQL” means. I normally use SQL “embedded” in an
app written in some other programming language.

 Embedded SQL is a thing or was a thing 30-40-50 years ago.
 Basically you write source code with SQL statements prefixed
by EXEC SQL, put it through a pre-compiler to get valid
code in whatever language (Cobol, PL/I, C or whatever).

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]
