does `query` return IO ()? If so, no you can't*. Once the result
is inside IO, it stays in IO. Move what you need inside out of where
(and inside a `do`) and get ready to change the signature of
`getBD` to

    getBD :: Connection -> String -> IO Float

* (you can with unsafeSomething functions, but it is really really
advisable not to do that).
