Your database thinks differently...

Depending on the database backend, you may not be able to
separate different SQL commands with ";" (even though your
interactive SQL shell may allow it).

You can use "<dtml-var sql-delimiter>" as separator.
In this case, Zope's DA will separate the individual SQL commands
and send them separately to the database.
