pg-promise returns integers as strings

Question

I have this simple query to a table that contains a column of type bigint.

However when I query it, pg-promise returns this column\'s values as a strin

Answer 1

Another alternative, specifically if you're using JavaScript without BigInt support, is to cast the value to an int in the SQL query, as such:

var ids = [180, 120];

// Cast id_brand to an int to ensure it is not parsed as a string.
db.any('SELECT id_brand::int, brand from catalog_brand WHERE id_brand in ($1:csv)', [ids])
    .then((data) => {
        // return results
    });

Of course, this does not help you if id_brand has values larger than the maximum int.
