For some reason you do not have active transaction when you try to
obtain columns from the metadata object.

Normally this should never occur, since driver should detect such
situations and start transaction for you. But seems that something works
not like it was designed.

So, it would be great if you could post some code that reproduces this
issue, so we can tell it better.
