Hey,  
I updated to 2.15.0 with the oss tag and now my server refuses to start. I see the following error message:

```auto
{"error":"pq: syntax error at or near \")\"","level":"fatal","msg":"main: cannot initialize server","time":"2022-10-31T15:19:18+01:00"

```

I found an issue that seems related here: [Drone server uses MySQL queries to initialize PostgreSQL database - #5 by smariot](https://drone.discourse.group/t/drone-server-uses-mysql-queries-to-initialize-postgresql-database/10042/5)  
But it’s quite old and there seems to be no fix.  
Any help?
