I do not fully remember what it was, but they use a feature that was
added with 9.6 (used to retrieve data from the database with a more
complex query):
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/requireme=
nts.md#postgresql-requirements

If you would like to have more details, there is an issue existing that
describe why 9.6 is required in detail, but I do not have the link anymor=
e.
Maybe it is easier to check what new feature was added with 9.6.

I suggest to go to version 11, which seems the be the latest stable
version regarding the webpage:
https://www.postgresql.org/

There is also good documentation existing how to upgrade:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/upgrading.html

If you run FreeBSD at $work you should anyway have your own poudriere
build package repository where you have your tested packages in.
So you can set there in make.conf
DEFAULT_VERSIONS=3Dpgsql=3D9.4
or whatever version you require. So we should not block here to go to a
more recent version.
