I could be wrong for some database engine, but INSERT generally does not
support a bulk insert mechanism like this. The only "bulk" insert capability
is the INSERT ... SELECT FROM syntax.

DB API's, such as the Python DBAPI executemany() or SQLAlchemy, accept
something like a bulk insert, but actually generate multiple insert
statements.
