[Zope] Multiple Inserts Using Sybase DAV

[Gilles Lenfant]

<dtml-var sql_delimiter> is supposed to work with most DA.
Dunno for Sybase but it works with MySQL.
Workaround (no sql_delimiter) :
Try a python script that calls both (or any number of) ZSQL methods in
sequence providing the parameters through a dict or mapping object:

context.mysqlmethod({'param1': value1, 'param2': value2})
...
