That is in a loop. There may be many of those strings, not
just one. From the query I assume that each pass produces one
return value ($row[0]). They could be printed and then pushed
onto another array which will survive the loop.

$sth->execute() or die $sth->errstr;
my @result;
while ( my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array ) {
print @row, $q->br;
push @result, @row;
}
$sth->finish;
$dbh->disconnect;
return @result;
}
In scalar context this will return the number of matching
rows, if any. In list context it will return the array matches.
if ( databaserequest_noun( 'blah', 'blah', 'blah' ) ) {
# matches
} else {
# no matches
}
