DB Functions Supported in UNX

Question

Are DB Functions supported in UNX universes? We are on BI4.1 SP3 and trying to use an Oracle DB function that will return a numeric field based on the user who is logged into Business Objects:
OWOD_DW.GET_BUDGET(@Variable('BOUSER'))
The GET_BUDGET is an Oracle DB function that expects the user id, checks the budget amount field in db table, and returns budget amount and sets it to Budget object in universe.
We have UNV universes that call Oracle DB functions, for example calculating number of working days. The processing is done on DB side and returns number of days and continue to work fine...
Thank you for your time.

Thank you both for your answers!
@Odie_63: Your sample worked for me, as well. I was able to find the root cause of why my statement had not worked: I was using a wrong path. Interestingly enough though, the correct result was returned if I did not use a function in the path, so it masked the root problem.
sample XML document (shortened) : <ObjectEvent>
  <action>ADD</action>
</ObjectEvent>correct path:SQL> SELECT EVENT_ID, ACTION   FROM EVENTSCHEMA.event x,     XMLTABLE ('/*' passing EVENTXMLTEXT
                 COLUMNS                
                        ACTION  VARCHAR(10)  PATH  'action'
  EVENT_ID ACTION
      1004 ADDwrong path, but still works:SQL> SELECT EVENT_ID, ACTION   FROM EVENTSCHEMA.event x,    XMLTABLE ('/*' passing EVENTXMLTEXT
                 COLUMNS                
                        ACTION  VARCHAR(10)  PATH  '/*/action'
  EVENT_ID ACTION
      1004 ADDfunction applied to the correct path works: SQL> SELECT EVENT_ID, ACTION    FROM EVENTSCHEMA.event x,   XMLTABLE ('/*' passing EVENTXMLTEXT
                 COLUMNS                
                        ACTION  VARCHAR(10)  PATH  'fn:lower-case(action)'
  EVENT_ID ACTION
      1004 addfunction applied to the wrong path does not work: SQL> SELECT EVENT_ID, ACTION  FROM EVENTSCHEMA.event x,    XMLTABLE ('/*' passing EVENTXMLTEXT
                 COLUMNS                
                        ACTION  VARCHAR(10)  PATH  'fn:lower-case(/*/action)'
  EVENT_ID ACTION
      1004Thanks again! I'm glad I can use the XQuery functions and don't have to find a workaround.
