Wrong equality condition between character varying data type and integer data type

There is an issue with this scpecific SQL request:

The issue is about the column comment_approved in SQL table wp_comments.

This table is like that:

                                                 Table « public.wp_comments »

 comment_parent       | bigint                      |                 | not null  | '0'::bigint
 user_id              | bigint                      |                 | not null  | '0'::bigint
Index :
    "wp_comments_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree ("comment_ID")

    "wp_comments_comment_parent" btree (comment_parent)
    "wp_comments_comment_post_ID" btree ("comment_post_ID")

As you can see, comment_approved is of type character varying(20).

That's why you cannot get an SQL request in which there is this:

AND comment_approved = 1

because it implies comment_approved would be of type integer (or bigint or smallint...)

Because it's a character varying(20), the SQL condition have to be like this instead:

AND comment_approved = '1'
