I recall that Radim gave a good explanation about why they had
to be separated; probably to be found in the ML archives near to
the time when this was added to the db.execute man page:
"""
NOTES
       db.execute only executes SQL statements and does not return any  data.  If  you  need
       data returned from the database, use db.select.
"""
