I think the last line is from the O/S error message - specifically the
Windows error ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION. The "Error while trying to read
from file" is Firebird boiler plate for an O/S error on a read. The
"General SQL error" means there's no specific SQL code for the error.

Something on your system was reading or writing to the database file and
it wasn't Firebird.
