I guess you migrated to a whole new environment, with many new package
versions, not just postgres ?

We don't know how you're issuing queries, but I'm guessing some other
application is what changed.

Postgres uses $1 for query parameters, in both v8.3 and in v11.

BTW, this is the list for development of postgres itself.  It's much too busy
to also answer other questions.  Please raise the question on the -general
list, with information about your environment.
