src/backend/optimizer/util/plancat.c -> Is this correct English
Hi,
just came across this:
src/backend/optimizer/util/plancat.c -> Is this correct English?
-> We need not lock the relation since it was already locked ...
I am not a native speaker, but this sounds strange.
Regards
Daniel?

I think it's fine. It could also be phrased like this:
We do not need to lock the relation since...

That's what I would have expected. But, as said, maybe this only sounds strange to me.

"Need not" is perfectly good English, although perhaps it has a
faintly archaic whiff to it.
