This change is to demonstrate that using arel_table does not treat the id column as strings in the generated SQL:

# original SQL:
Stripe::Fee.where("id > ?", 3).to_sql
=> "SELECT `stripe_fees`.* FROM `stripe_fees` WHERE (id > '3')"

# SQL with arel_table:
Stripe::Fee.where(Stripe::Fee.arel_table[:id].gt(3)).to_sql
=> "SELECT `stripe_fees`.* FROM `stripe_fees` WHERE `stripe_fees`.`id` > 3"

MySql is lenient and allows such comparison, however BigQuery raises an exception for this behaviour:

Google::Cloud::InvalidArgumentError: No matching signature for operator > for argument types: INT64, STRING.

Yeah we had noticed that too, making use of arel_table does the trick, however it becomes very cumbersome to convert database table names into constantized classes in the jobiteration layer.
I just had a pairing session with @bony2023 and we managed to patch the bigquery adapter to prevent the coercion.

That being said we may want to revisit that coercion on the Mysql queries too 👍
as you pointed out even though it is lenient about it ain't ideal.
