LOCK TABLE employees IN EXCLUSIVE MODE WAIT 10;

On employees table I have to do first delete and then insert.

    SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE 

BEGIN TRANSACTION

DELETE FROM employees .. 
INSERT INTO employees ... 

COMMIT TRANSACTION

    Either the delete statement will succeed and lock the table exclusively, or it will fail (if a lock is already held by another connection).

    BTW, it’s good practice to try and avoid such extreme exclusive locking. There are other less aggressive isolation levels that you might possibly be able to use with the same results.

    See SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL
