With SQL 2008, and if your client API supports it, the correct approach
is to pass the transactions in a table-valued parameter. Else you can 
use XML to send all data at once.

See http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html for an introduction
to TVPs and http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2005.html#XML for how
to use XML.
