It means just what it says. Any query (including those on metadata tables) has to be submitted within a transaction context. Each connectivity layer has its own way of passing the correct transaction handle across the API. Take your question to the Jaybird forum (the firebird-java list) to find out what you've omitted from your routine. Provide details like your Jaybird and Firebird versions and whether you're connecting to a Classic server or a Superserver.
