bundling multiple database queries and getting a result

[Björnke von Gierke]

You can't do multi line sql with livecode, you have to issue them separately. So for example in SQLite this works to reduce latency:

revexecuteSQL theConnID, "BEGIN TRANSACTION"
repeat 20 times
   revexecuteSQL theConnID, "INSERT INTO table (column) VALUES 'blah'"
end repeat
revexecuteSQL theConnID, "END TRANSACTION"

Dunnow if it'll help in a networked environment when doing queries tho.
