Run the regression tests with "make installcheck", then:
$ pg_dump -Fc regression >r.dump
$ createdb r2
$ pg_restore -d r2 r.dump
pg_restore: while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: from TOC entry 6005; 2604 24821 DEFAULT gtest1_1 b postgres
pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: column "b" of relation "gtest1_1" is a generated column
Command was: ALTER TABLE ONLY public.gtest1_1 ALTER COLUMN b SET DEFAULT (a * 2);
pg_restore: warning: errors ignored on restore: 1
$
It looks like gtest1_1 inherits column "b" from gtest1, so possibly
pg_dump is just confused about the combination of inheritance and
generated columns.
I see this in v12 as well as HEAD. One interesting question is how come
the pg_upgrade test isn't failing --- maybe binary-upgrade mode handles
this case differently?
