Thank you for providing a small, complete example.

You should also describe what behaviour you expect, and what behaviour
you're getting instead. What happens, and how are you expecting it to be
different?

There's no need to end Python statements with a semicolon; it's only
confusing to do it.

You never use ‘rows’ for anything else, so you may as well forget it and
just iterate directly over the return value::

    for row in cur.fetchall():

>     row_new = row[0].split("\n", " ")

Read the documentation for ‘str.split’ to see what is wrong with the
above call.
