Sharing this fix that I found for working with supabase and I believe it is more of a PostgreSQL issue, here are the some details about the error and how to fix it.
The error “ERROR: 42846: cannot cast type bigint to uuid” occurs because PostgreSQL does not know how to implicitly convert an arbitrary bigint value into a valid uuid format. You must provide an explicit USING expression that defines how to generate a valid uuid from the existing bigint data.
ERROR: 42846: cannot cast type bigint to uuid
Solution Steps
- First, go to the column you are changing from either int, bigint to a uuid type. Edit the column and go under the extra options then remove “Is Identity” checkbox and save.

- Next to go SQL Editor and run this command
ALTER TABLE public.watches
ALTER COLUMN id SET DATA TYPE uuid
USING uuid_generate_v4();
- Next, go back to the table and update the column with a default value.

This fixed the issue for me. That’s it.
