If you're speaking of INSERT INTO foo VALUES (a, row), (another, row), ...
that's in SQL92. See 7.2 <table value constructor>:
<table value constructor> ::=
VALUES <table value constructor list>
<table value constructor list> ::=
<row value constructor> [ { <comma> <row value constructor> }... ]
It's really pretty lame that we still don't have any support at all for
this :-(. Allowing it everywhere the spec says <table value constructor>
should be allowed might be nontrivial ... but maybe we should just fix
the INSERT ... VALUES case for now.
