MySQL variables not supported

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Any SQL scripts that use mysql variables will not work

e.g:

set @test_id = last_insert_id();
INSERT INTO tariff(provider_id, description) VALUES (@test_id, 'test value'); 
-- this line fails

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An exception is thrown

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.9.9-m5 on Mac OSX

Please provide any additional information below.

The library looks good but i am forced to look somewhere else because we use 
mysql variables in a lot of of patch scripts
