The only difference that I am aware of is that read-only transactions at the SERIALIZABLE isolation level can release predicate locks earlier, which can benefit performance. But I don't think that you need to worry: reading transactions only take an ACCESS SHARE lock on tables, which won't conflict with data modifications. Yours, Laurenz Albe
