casting_types.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# If you get "unknown OID 705: failed to recognize type of '<field>'. It will be treated as String."
# it probably means that type of column could not be identified when retriving records
# Example
User.where("'something' as something")
# Will results in unknown OID. However doing this:
User.where("'something'::text as something")
# Will just work. Casting is important, dude!
