Pgsql error: You might need to add explicit type casts

Question

My website is just working fine til i deployed it to heroku and the problem is heroku uses pgsql and I\'m using mysql and laravel framework.

my query is

Answer 1

The problem is here:

$q->where('vaccine_id','ILIKE','%' . $vaccine_id)

looks like vaccine_id is integer, and you can not use operator ILIKE to integer. Try just '='

If you want to use LIKE, ILIKE or other text operator you must cast your data to text. In SQL it must looks like:

WHERE "vaccine_id"::text ILIKE val

instead

WHERE "vaccine_id" ILIKE val
