A MySQL stored routine that executes chained SQL statements passed in parameter.

mysql-batchSQLexecute.sql

DELIMITER $$

/*
* This routine execute some SQL statements passed as parameter
* params:
* - sqlStatements(MEDIUMTEXT): the text containing all the SQL to execute
* - delimiter(VARCHAR 255) : the delimiter string between the SQL statements
* - autocommit(INT) : set wether auto-commit mode is used or not (0/1)
*
* The goal of this routine is too clearly improve the execution speed
* on several statements when you use MySQL Connector for example:
* - instead of sending a request for each INSERT or UPDATE or anything else,
* you can build a string containing all the statements to execute and call
* this procedure to batch execute it on the remote server, thus gaining a lot
* of time in execution. Everyone knows how Connector is slow with INSERT like
* commands...
* To speed up things even more, you can set autocommit to 0.
*
* Example of use: CALL batchSQLexecute('INSERT INTO myTable (val) VALUES(123); INSERT INTO myTable (val) VALUES(456);', ';', 0);
