Well, a quick google search suggests that all three guesses here were
off base.  This is the best clue I could find with a two-minute
perusal:
 
# TRANSACTION_HANDLE -> use a named transaction. Firebird allows
# multiple transactions per connection. In the case below, this
# request is run in the system transaction - not available outside the
# engine.  The system transaction number is 0 and it is
# "pre-committed" meaning that its changes are immediately visible to
# all other transactions.
 
Does that send a nasty chill up anyone else's spine?
