Let's take odbx_query() (or any other function) as example, which returned an 
error. If the return value of odbx_error_type() is negative, you've hit a 
severe error like the connection to the server is broken. In this case you 
have to call odbx_unbind(), odbx_finish(), odbx_init() and odbx_bind() in 
this order to recreate the connection. Otherwise, if the return value was 
positive your statement might have been not understood by the database 
server. Here you can continue to send the next statement to the server 
without the need to recreate the connection.

Hope I could help you
