FDB expects active transaction, which is not active until you execute
the statement. KInterbasDB doesn't show this behavior because it opens
main transaction immediately, which is not good practice, so we didn't
replicate it. Because Python DB API 2.0 doesn't specify when transaction
has to be implicitly started, FDB with its deferred start is in full
compliance with specification. If you want generic code that always
commits before SQL execution to start a new implicit transaction, check
the connection.main_transaction.closed before call to commit().
