in reply to Multiple SQL statements in DBI

I think others have answered your question but as a maintainer of 2 DBDs I'd strongly suggest you avoid attempting to run multiple statements like this. The support for doing that in actual drivers and databases varies massively and in nearly all cases I've seen it has led to other problems.

    Thanks mje, but ultimately I'm not really wanting to run multiple statements in one.  See my question 3 for my motivation.
