I saw this too late!

It’s likely to have worked, because I followed this post:

> [@StorageRead error with cockroachdb after upgrade to 3.17.0](https://forum.heroiclabs.com/t/storageread-error-with-cockroachdb-after-upgrade-to-3-17-0/4175/9):

> I’ve managed to successfully update my existing CockroachDB database files from v20.2 that was used in Nakama 3.16 to CockroachDB v23.1 which is used from Nakama 3.17 to 3.19 by repeatedly changing the version number of cockroach in my docker-compose file from 20.2 to 21.1 to 21.2 to 22.1 to 22.2 and finally to 23.1, doing docker compose up each time I changed a version. Is there a less tedious way to do this in the future ? I found each production release version of CockroachDB here: [Releases](https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/releases/)

And manually “upgraded” Cockroachdb step by step, which fixed the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion, good to know how to wipe the db (which was something I looked for but couldn’t find).
