I compared the openlink debug log of PHP and "odbctest" program provided by Openlink. They are different in ODBC sessions.
It seems your unified ODBC functions contains many bugs such as prepare/execute works but execute not or reverse, odbc_num_rows() fail,
'"','[]'  keyword delimiters fail, require a primary key of any table, certain sql statement fails like 'distinct' or 'group by', ..., etc., 
I suggest you build an independant set of functions for Openlink driver.

my how-to document of iodbc-openlink installation:
http://www.silen.net/openlink-php-odbc.txt

Here is my configure line:
./configure --with-iodbc --with-openlink --with-mysql --with-gd=/usr/local/gd1.3
--enable-track-vars

my php3.ini:
[PHP_3]

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; About this file ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; This file controls many aspects of PHP's behavior.  In order for PHP to
; read it, it must be named 'php3.ini'.  PHP looks for it in the current
; working directory, in the path designated by the environment variable
; PHPRC, and in the path that was defined in compile time (in that order).
; Under Windows, the compile-time path is the Windows directory.  The
; path in which the php3.ini file is looked for can be overriden using
; the -c argument in command line mode.
;
; The syntax of the file is extremely simple.  Whitespace and Lines
; beginning with a semicolon are silently ignored (as you probably guessed).
; Section headers (e.g. [Foo]) are also silently ignored, even though
; they might mean something in the future (they probably won't).
;
; Options are specified using the syntax key = value or key = "complex value".
; Key names are *case sensitive*.  foo = bar is different from FOO = bar.
; 'value' can be any number, word or keyword (keywords are On, Off, True,
; False, Yes and No, and are case insensitive).
; 'complex value' can be just about anything, expcept for " and a newline
; Boolean flags can be turned on using the values 1, On, True or Yes.
; They can be turned off using the values 0, Off, False or No.
;
; All the values in the php3.ini-dist file correspond to the builtin
; defaults (that is, if no php3.ini is used, or if you delete these lines,
; the builtin defaults will be identical).
