Thanks for response and sorry for bad formulating.
I've compared queries (SELECTs) with and without FOR SHARE
clause. I think it was CREATE TABLE AS (SELECT ... FOR SHARE)
versus CREATE TABLE AS (SELECT ...).
The same box, same PG, same data.
As far I remember (protocol in office),
if retrive all 10000 records from a table
with some small CHARs and INTs, SELECT FOR SHARE is about 60%
slower then the same SELECT.
If query is complex and it retrieves (and locks) few rows,
difference is not so significant.
No surprise at all.
I'm asking because not sure my tests are exhaustive
and the worst case is covered.
