ActiveRecord casts everything to a string when Arel select is used.

I can reproduce this behavior with both sqlite and postgresql in rails 3.0.0.beta1.
>> AnyModel.select('1.0 as t').first.t
=> "1.0"
>> AnyModel.select('1 as t').first.t
=> "1"

I don't think there's a way to infer the type, since there's no SQL parsing going on. Same happens in 2.3, same reason.
