Hi,

I am trying out MySQL HandlerSocket.

I believe we can go execute\_multi() with handlersocket’s perl APIs to  
speed up multiple queries instead of using execute\_single(). I have  
tried this and it works for me in perl.

But how this can be done using C++ APIs. There is any specific options  
available with request\_buf\_exec\_generic() call.

Thanks,  
Srinivasan
