PostgREST makes use of PostgreSQL string representations to work with data types. Thanks to this, you can use special values, such as ``now`` for timestamps, ``yes`` for booleans or time values including the time zones. This page describes how you can take advantage of these string representations to perform operations on different PostgreSQL data types.
