I'm currently need predicate locking in the project, so there are two ways
to get it by now: implement it by creating special database records to lock
with SELECT FOR UPDATE or wait while they will be implemented in Postgres
core. Is there something like predicate locking on the TODO list currently?
I assume you want ("real", as opposed to what is in<  9.1 now)
SERIALIZABLE transactions, in which case you could check:

Not sure about the whole transaction, I think it degrades the performance too much as transactions access many tables. Just wanted SELECT FOR UPDATE to prevent inserting records into a table with the specified condition. It seems to be very typical situation when you have a table like
CREATE TABLE timetable (start_ts TIMESTAMP, end_ts TIMESTAMP)
and before insertion in this table want to guarantee that there is no overlapped time intervals there. So, first you need to lock the range in the table, then to check if there are any records in this range.
In my case this table is the only for which I need such kind of locking.
