I once had a very strange error with a table called "audit" on an oracle database. It turned out, that exspecially on oracle "audit" was a reserved word - while it worked out fine on any other database.
I would recommend trying to use other column names. As "end" is surrounded by double quites your database postgres also know it as a reserved word. (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5570783/using-end-as-column-name-in-ruby-on-rails-mysql) Change the column name.
