I'm an Oracle neophyte but have worked with Progress for years. Progress does provide ODBC connectivity, if you start an ODBC server against the database properly. Progress also sells an Oracle Data Server so you can run Progress 4GL against an Oracle database (though the performance is less then stellar). It all depends on which direction you're trying to go. Progress is SQL92 compliant.

For details I'd suggest the Progress Email Group at www.peg.com. You can search the existing forums and join the DataServers list serve to ask the Progress folks who are doing it.
