characterset problem? combined statements

[marc.boncz]

Hi all,

Recently upgraded to 4.1 and now have a problem:
Both in Delphi and PHP appplications I used to have blocks of statements like this:

BEGIN;
STATEMENT 1;
STATEMENT 2;
COMMIT;

In PHP I tended to put "\r\n" behind this to keep echoes of the queryblock to screen readable, in Delphi I assume the queries are separated like this automatically when adding them to a string list before execution.

Now MySQL 4.1, unlike the previous version, throuws an error on this, for some reason it 'sees' the control characters (newline), leaves these in the statements and thus the statements are not executed.
In PHP this was easy to solve: no more 'newline' characters.
However, In Delphi I have no way to keep the newlines out of the blocks of statements.

How do I get these blocks of statements executed, without sending them one by one?

Guess it has to do something with the character set, probably have to set that to something else, but what?
