From the OCI guide:

Before Oracle7 Server, Release 7.2, connections between Oracle and an
OCI program were only in blocking mode. Release 7.2 included a new
nonā€“blocking mode.
Note: To use the nonā€“blocking feature with Oracle7 Server release 7.2, you need version 7.2 of the OCI libraries and version 2.2 of SQL*Net. To use the nonā€“blocking feature with Oracle7 Server release 7.3, you need version 7.2 or 7.3 of the OCI libraries and version 2.3 of SQL*Net. Release 7.3 of the OCI libraries is not compatible with release 7.2 of the Server. Nonā€“blocking calls are not supported against release 7.1 or earlier of the Server.
The nonā€“blocking mode returns control to an OCI program so that it may perform other computations while the OCI call is being processed by the server. This mode is particularly useful in Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications, realtime applications, and in distributed environments.
The following three OCI routines are used specifically with nonā€“blocking connections:
o ONBTST, to test whether a database connection is in blocking or nonā€“blocking mode
o ONBSET, to place a database connection in nonā€“blocking mode for all subsequent OCI calls on that connection
o ONBCLR, to place a database connection in blocking mode
