Description:
------------
When using intial SQL query with PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND, only one 
query can be queried. More queries throws exception SQLSTATE[HY000]: 
General error: 2014

I am not sure, if this is bug or feature or some PDO limitation, but 
sometimes more than one initial query is needed

Reproduce code:
---------------
$pdo = new PDO( 
    'mysql:host=hostname;dbname=defaultDbName', 
    'username', 
    'password', 
    array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES utf8;SET time_zone = 'Europe/Prague'") 
); 


Actual result:
--------------
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014

The question here is trival, because internally we use mysql_options(MYSQL_INIT_COMMAND) which does not support multiple queries then. We could probably work around it with some hackish code, but I'll leave this up to the mysql guys to judge

The following workaround works for me:
SET NAMES utf8,time_zone = '+0:00'

This is possible at least for SET commands. More information about SET is available in the MySQL manual: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/set-option.html. It states that "A SET  statement can contain multiple variable assignments, separated by commas."

It is a security and portability matter: you do not want to allow the execution of multiple statement per one operation by default. It opens up the door for SQL injection. Disabling the feature by default is also what mysqli does. 

Also, it is a matter of portability - shouldn't PDO try to use portable defaults?
