Ah. That's something that I know. An owner never has more than one
open request for a lock.

No. Firebird doesn't lock records. However, it does lot lots of
other things, some using traditional two-phase locking and some using
what are now generally called "latches". Two-phase locks are acquired
as a transaction runs and released only when the transaction ends.
"Latches" are taken and released as needed. When Firebird is reading
a page in the cache on behalf of a transaction, it gets a read latch
on that page. When it changes a page, it must get a write latch on
the page. It also gets shared locks on tables and indexes that are
in use so they won't be dropped, etc.
