For my two cents, I've done something like this using ADODB. 
But maybe you loose the speed benifits by using ADODB instead of a 
straight call.
Does anyone know the difference of using repeated prepared statements 
and a systax where you could have a giant insert statement:

INSERT INTO table(c1,c2)
VALUES (v1.1,v2.1),..., (v1.n,v2.n)

I also found this resource useful:
