I don't know about performance, but syntactically at least, an INSERT
is certainly allowed to do multiple records. I do this all the time
for database dump/recreation, something like:

INSERT INTO table (field,field,field) VALUES
(value,value,value),(value,value,value);

I've done this in PostgreSQL, and I'm pretty sure also in MySQL. That
might be identical in performance to two separate statements, but at
least it's clearer.
