    # 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!
