Numeric type returns number instead of string as defined in TypeScript

export const bankrolls = pgTable('bankrolls', {
  id: uuid('id').primaryKey(),
  name: varchar('name'),
  startingCapital: numeric('starting_capital', { precision: 8, scale: 2 }),
});

async all(userId: string): Promise<BankrollsViewModel[]> {
  const result = await this.sqlConnection
    .select()
    .from(bankrolls)
    .where(eq(bankrolls.userId, userId));
  return result;
}

{
  id: string;
  name: string;
  startingCapital: string; // Note: string
}[]

console.log(typeof result[0].startingCapital); // Outputs: "number"
