% wildcard counting in column length

[gssj85]

I'm using Laravel 9 and I have a query that does a where like to a column varchar(14).

When the like has the full length of the column I get a error saying it expected 14 and got 16 characters.

Example: where document like '%12345678901234%'

When I do the same query in the console it works, but when the Laravel does it doesn't.

Is this behavior normal? I'm kinda new to Firebird...

Giving a bit more context:

[gssj85]

Using PDO it works:

[gssj85]

Update:

Using whereRaw worked.

Will keep using it for now but curious as to why it doesn't work with where, maybe something when the params are bind?

I tried looking at the code but I'm not skilled enough yet for this task.
