How to call the postgress function/stored procedure from laravel controller?

Question

laravel code:

$allUsers=DB::select('call getUsersCount()');

errror:

SQLSTATE[42601]: Syntax error: 7 ERROR: syntax error at or near "call" LINE 1: call getUsersCount() ^ (SQL: call getUsersCount()) (Bindings: array ( ))

function in postgress:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public."getUsersCount"()
      RETURNS bigint AS
    $BODY$
      SELECT count(*)  FROM users;
    $BODY$
      LANGUAGE sql VOLATILE
      COST 100;
    ALTER FUNCTION public."getUsersCount"()
      OWNER TO postgres;

So what is the best way to call the Postgres functions from laravel?

I don't want to convert this to like table calling. it should be like a stored procedures.
