Sure!  Just bind that tuple, which you are currently returning, to a
variable (so you can in fact close the connection -- you're not doing
it now, since return ends your function), and then use that tuple as
you prefer.  As it's a tuple of tuples you'll probably want to loop
over it rather than just calling "//".join or whatever, of course.

Unless you know how you want to format the resulting string, it's
unlikely that the result is going to be satisfactory to you, of course.
