What happened?

Parsing DB migration file with setting the default value of a column to ('') causes a syntax error.

It works without enclosing the single-quotes in parentheses, but this value does not work with the goose migration tool

Relevant log output

sqlc generate failed.
# package 
schema.sql:7:69: syntax error near "'');" "

Database schema

CREATE TABLE authors (
  id   INT PRIMARY KEY,
  name text      NOT NULL,
  bio  text NOT NULL
);

SQL queries

ALTER TABLE authors ADD COLUMN explanation text NOT NULL DEFAULT ('');

Configuration

{
  "version": "2",
  "sql": [{
    "schema": "schema.sql",
    "queries": "query.sql",
    "engine": "mysql",
    "gen": {
      "go": {
        "out": "db"
      }
    }
  }]
}
