They map each character of the supported character set ( latin-1 ) to a specific code so that computers can work with text. iso8859-1 is a single-byte code page - meaning each character in the character set is described with one byte ( 8 bits ).

ODBC stands for open database connectivity. It is a standard with which you can access RDBMS which come with an ODBC ( or JDBC for Java ) driver. Progress OpenEdge supports ODBC/JDBC since, I guess, V9.0A - before that they had something else.
Just to be clear: The standard connectivity for the Progress database is their client/networking protocol - which is used by the AVM ( Progress virtual machine ) to talk to the database. It is not ODBC/JDBC. The Progress database supports ODBC/JDBC for other clients.
