What I know, the lpad function newer exists for int type. So if it exists
somewhere, probably it is user function, or there was allowed implicit
casting from int to text

If you want to use buildin function, you should to use explicit casts (or
install orafce extension, that supports it)

postgres=# select lpad(10::text, 10, 0::text);
┌────────────┐
│ lpad │
╞════════════╡
│ 0000000010 │
└────────────┘
(1 row)
