How to compare dates in different formats in Yii2-Postgresql?

Question

PostgreSQL

You need to compare dates in different formats in the query. If you make a simple query, then you can use TIMESTAMP in pg, but if you collect a query from the framework, then the TIMESTAMP operator is escaped:
("table"."value::timestamp" = '1980-09-27::timestamp') or " TIMESTAMP table"."value" = 'TIMESTAMP 1980-09-27'
How to deal with this?
Functions (like CAST) are not escaped, they work normally. Can I somehow tell yii that TIMESTAMP is an operator and should not be merged with a string?
Or some analogue of TIMESTAMP on the side of the database, but in the form of a function?
Or the function of casting to some format

Answer 1

Have a look at the to_timestamp() function

Answer 2

The problem was solved by assembling the condition manually, and not from an array.
For academic purposes, I'll leave the question open for now.
