Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change adds opt-in multi-statement batching for eligible executemany DML while preserving loop execution by default. Generator inputs retain streaming behavior, with bounded batching and coverage for error and result-handling paths, so no merge-blocking current-head risk remains. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🟡 Changes recommended
Eagerly materializing args regresses streaming behavior and can cause unbounded memory use or prevent execution for unbounded generators.

Cursor.executemanyaccepts generators, butargs = list(args)consumes the entire generator before_do_execute_many, the loop, or_do_execute_many_multistarts. This creates O(n) memory usage and can fail before any statement executes. Use a first-item lookahead to preserve empty and single-item behavior, then pass an iterator to the INSERT/REPLACE and loop paths.

This pull request introduces a new
executemany_fallbackoption to improve howexecutemany()handles non-bulk DML statements, allowing for client-side multi-statement batching. It also adds a newmore_results()method to the connection API, enhances documentation, and expands test coverage for these features.Enhancements to executemany() batching and options:
executemany_fallbackoption to theConnectionandCursorclasses, allowing users to control whether non-bulk DML statements inexecutemany()are executed in a loop (default) or batched into multi-statement queries ("multi"). This includes validation, documentation, and support for configuration via connection parameters.

executemany_fallbackoption, its configuration, and the behavior ofexecutemany()with batching. [1] [2]more_results()method in the user guide and API reference.Testing improvements:
