The driver should split this query on the semicolons and send
Parse/Bind/Execute for each part, followed by a Sync at the end. If it
ends up using named statements due to JDBC statement reuse, it should
use a different name for each part. Of course there might be unknown
bugs in there, but it has been designed to handle this sort of compound
statement..
To the OP: Is autocommit on or off? Can you reproduce the problem with a
URL parameter of loglevel=2 and see what it looks like? (that'll
generate a trace protocol-level messages)
