I am querying potgres in javascript. I passing string as a parameter but getting empty resultset. I have tried even using lodash toString method to no avail. however when I run the query in pgadmin i get a record.

User.getIdByPhone = function (phone, callback){
    if(!phone) return;
    email = _.toString(phone);
    pg.query('SELECT id FROM users WHERE phone = $1', [phone], function (err, results) {
        if (err){
            console.log('error on UserRule: 83', err)
            return callback(false, true);
        }
        try{
            if(!_.isUndefined(results.rows[0]))
                callback(results.rows[0].id, false);
            else 
                callback(false, true)
        }
        catch(e){
            console.log(e)
        }
    });
}
