Description:
------------
 If you start a new transaction (or if one is started internally, where you 
cannot change the isolation level) where you don’t explicitly specify isolation 
level the IBASE_DEFAULT is used. But this is 
IBASE_WRITE|IBASE_CONCURRENCY|IBASE_WAIT. This is read-write wait transaction in 
concurrency mode. This mode is most restrictive, nothing close to read committed. 
And to make it worse, there’s no way to change this default value in runtime. You 
can only do it recompiling sources, nothing to be viable in most cases.

examples: 
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_READONLY, FALSE); // read-write transaction (Default)
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_READONLY, TRUE); // readonly transaction


$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, 0); // no_wait
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, -1); // wait 
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_TIMEOUT, 4); // wait timeout 4 seconds

$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::FB_TRANS_ISOLATION_LEVEL, PDO::FB_TRANS_COMMITTED); //read committed (default)

... etc FB_TRANS_COMMITTED_NO_REC_VERSION, FB_TRANS_CONCURRENCY, FB_TRANS_CONCURRENCY

If this option could apply to multiple database drivers, I would remove the FB_ 
prefix and translate to the driver specific implementations transparently. An 
abstraction should not be specific to an implementation. 

The driver could throw a catchable "not supported" PDOException if transaction 
isolation is not suported by the driver or the requested isolation level is not 
supported.

The interbase extension is moved to PECL[1] as of PHP 7.4.0, and
is looking for a new maintainer.  Until a new maintainer is found,
I suspend this ticket.

Consider to use the bundled PDO_Firebird extension, or the
php-firebird package[2] instead.
