If you are looking for something like asynchronous database operation
execution, then no, AFAIK, none of the database systems support by ODB
expose anything like this in their low-level C APIs (recent versions of
PG might, I vaguely remember reading something about that).

But using ODB in async code itself should not cause any problems.
