Firebird use an optimistic locking system where only writers block writers (e.g. two transactions trying to do an update), writers don't block readers and readers don't block writers.

If you get an error message suggesting a lock conflict, then you are not just selecting from a table (well, unless you do something silly like specify WITH LOCK in your select query). Are you sure that no update statement is executed - not even by triggers?
