Description:

Hey there,

we've recently migrated from PostgreSQL 9.5 to 11.2 and after pg_upgrade a
couple of tables were in a "broken" state afterwards where they were lacking
DEFAULT values that relied on custom TYPEs or FUNCTIONs so that after the
upgrade, we needed to run migrations such as

ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS table1
    ALTER COLUMN column1 SET DEFAULT unix_timestamp()
ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS table2
    ALTER COLUMN column2 SET DEFAULT 'open'::recruitment_state

We did experience something similar when using pg_restore in the past, not
sure if that helps or if you could give us any hints how this can be
avoided?

Best,

Justus
