Postgres is statically typed
finance_service=# select count(*) from "Purchases" WHERE echpro = 0;
ERROR: operator does not exist: character varying = integer
LINE 1: select count(*) from "Purchases" WHERE echpro = 0;
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.
The operator has to match the type
finance_service=# select count(*) from "Purchases" WHERE echpro = CAST('0' as VarChar);
count
