batch inserts in SQLite instance in AIR?

Hi,

is there a way to execute multiple insert statements as one batch in the SQLite instance of AIR?

for example

var sql:String = "insert into the_table values ( 'one', 'two' );

    insert into the_table values ( 'three', 'four' );
    insert into the_table values ( 'five', 'six' );"

we want to reduce the overhead of event processing when using the async connection.

Thanks,

Calvin
