You don't - because you never need to ask for "shared locks" in Firebird. Shared read always applies. Locks don't exist until a transaction requests a write and the request succeeds. You can set certain transaction parameters to govern behaviour, if you have a particular behaviour in mind...so best you explain what you want to achieve.
