title: MySQL returning nothing on a very simple query
body: <p>I have a table called <code>groups_pivot</code> that has these columns:</p>
  
  <pre><code>id, pivot_id, group_id, model, creator_id, updater_id, created_at, updated_at
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In it I store relationships between different models and <code>groups</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * from groups_pivot;
  
  id  pivot_id    group_id    model           creator_id  updater_id  created_at       updated_at
  1   1           1           App\Models\User 7           7           8/18/2019 22:09  8/18/2019 22:09
  2   2           1           App\Models\User 1           1           8/18/2019 22:09  8/18/2019 22:09
  3   3           2           App\Models\User 6           6           8/18/2019 22:09  8/18/2019 22:09
  4   4           3           App\Models\User 2           2           8/18/2019 22:09  8/18/2019 22:09
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when I run this query in both <code>Laravel</code> and <code>mySQLWorkbench</code> I get null response:</p>
  
  <pre><code>select * from groups_pivot
  where model = 'App\Models\User';
  
  09:27:41    select * from groups_pivot where model = 'App\Models\User' LIMIT 0, 1000    0 row(s) returned   0.000 sec / 0.000 sec
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What kind of magic is this? No errors, no response. I am sure I am having a stupid morning, but I cannot see why it is doing this. Thanks for any suggestions on where to look.</p>
