node-postgres will convert a database type to a JavaScript string if it doesn't have a registered type parser for the database type. Furthermore, you can send any type to the PostgreSQL server as a string and node-postgres will pass it through without modifying it in any way. To circumvent the type parsing completely do something like the following.

```js
const queryText = 'select int_col::string, date_col::string, json_col::string from my_table'
const queryText = 'SELECT int_col::text, date_col::text, json_col::text FROM my_table'
