execute multiple statements at once

Is there a way to execute multiple statements at one time? I’ve tried using just the following and although it says success the fields are not updated.

UPDATE mfp_options SET option_value = '[email protected]' WHERE option_name = 'admin_email';
UPDATE mfp_options SET option_value = 'm/d/Y' WHERE option_name = 'date_format';
UPDATE mfp_options SET option_value = '/%postname%/' WHERE option_name = 'permalink_structure';
UPDATE mfp_options SET option_value = 'America/New_York' WHERE option_name = 'timezone_string';
UPDATE mfp_options SET option_value = '0' WHERE option_name = 'uploads_use_yearmonth_folders';

Thanks
