Multiple Line SQL for MySQL?

No clue for MySQL, but I can tell you that it definitely supports 
multi-line SQL commands with PostgreSQL, while the docs tell you that 
it may not support them for all database types.  MySQL may not support 
this (my understanding is that the database server will need to have 
support for it, as Rev itself does not parse the statements -- can 
anyone confirm?)
