I believe turning autocommit on in the connection would achieve this (at
the expense of performance and transaction support).  You could also add
a "commit" SQL statement to each thread.

Why not have the threads notify the other threads that it's okay to
start working?  If you have to wait until the data is completely
inserted anyway, have your final thread perform the "commit" and then
set a threading.Event or somesuch .
