There appears to be a problem with postgres queries using the in_
operator for example:

  query = query.filter(models.Migration.status.in_(status))

where status is an array of strings like ['accepted', 'done'].

The error:

 DBError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) operator does not exist: character 
varying = text[]
 LINE 3: ...HERE migrations.deleted = 0 AND migrations.status = ARRAY['a...
 HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need 
to add explicit type casts.

looks to be about the fact that the "status" column of the Migration
table is of type varchar whereas the array for the IN operator is
defaulting to being treated as an array of text types, and that an
explicit cast is needed.

I didn't find any existing type casting and we do have a number of
similar queries already of style "column.in_(array of strings)" so I
wonder if this is a problem for all such queries, and not just this
migration status example one.
