For the first 10-20 years of RDBMS then Cobol was the
most widely used language for RDBMS access.

Cobol with embedded SQL was a huge thing. Sort of still is.
It's true that COBOL never implemented embedded relational database access
as well as it implemented heirarchical database access.
But I think that it's also true that no language has ever implemented
embedded relational database access as well as COBOL implemented
heirarchical database access.
The COBOL syntax is ghastly but it's the price you pay.
