Not really. Your only option would be to leave the values as strings and then handle parsing yourself by calling the appropriate parser function after the data is returned.
Thank you for the quick response! I'm also seeing that I generally have precision issues as all the types are numeric so I don't know when I need BigInt or not, which explains the decision to use strings in the first place.

This is an old issue, but I believe customizing types per query has been possible in pg
since https://github.com/brianc/node-postgres/pull/1825.
I have an existing project where we are not parsing types and I don't want to enable it globally yet, but I'm looking for a way to do it for one particular query.
The reason is that I'm writing the query to an excel file and I need the excel columns to have the number type.
thanks!
