Yep, looks like it does the right thing in PostgreSQL but not anywhere else [0].

I feel like it did strings in postgres too, not too long ago and I had a <brain explode> moment when I worked on a codebase and had to figure out why queries were terrible

Supposedly the behavior hasn't changed since at least version 1.8:

It may not have worked correctly on your project for some reason?

Actually now that I remember we were using MySQL and I was pushing for migrating to postgres partially for this reason, sorry it was a long time ago in startup time
