Nearly all DB-API modules I have seen require a single statement passed
to either execute() or executemany(), i.e. no multiple statement
queries. nextset() is for SELECTs which return multiple result sets;
I've never seen this used.

Also, the only thing I have ever seen executemany() used for is a
multi-row INSERT.
