Multiple inserts using a single preparedStatement in a c++/mysql project - c++

Question

I have a C++ project running on Linux and gcc/g++ 4.8. I am using MySql database version 5.7 and MySql C++ connector API 1.1.12. I am trying to execute two insert statements (each for a different table) separated by a semicolon. I got this working for Statements but not for PreparedStatements. See code sample below:
#include "mysql_connection.h"
#include <cppconn/driver.h>
#include <cppconn/exception.h>
#include <cppconn/resultset.h>
#include <cppconn/statement.h>
#include <cppconn/prepared_statement.h>
....
sql::Driver* driver;
sql::Connection *con;
sql::Statement *stmt;
sql::ResultSet *res;
sql::ConnectOptionsMap options;
options["hostName"] = "tcp://127.0.0.1";
options["userName"] = "user";
options["password"] = "password";
options["schema"] = "test_db";
options["port"] = 3306;
options["CLIENT_MULTI_STATEMENTS"] = true;
driver = get_driver_instance();
con = driver->connect(options);
Against that setup, I tried to run either of the following options:
//option 1: works
stmt = con->createStatement();
stmt -> execute("INSERT INTO T_TEST1(TEST1) VALUES ('VALUE1');INSERT INTO T_TEST2(TEST2) VALUES ('VALUE2')");
//option 2: does not work
sql::PreparedStatement *pstmt = con->prepareStatement("INSERT INTO T_TEST1(TEST1) VALUES ('VALUE1');INSERT INTO T_TEST2(TEST2) VALUES ('VALUE2')");
pstmt->executeUpdate();
Option 1 works. Option 2 but throws the following error:
# ERR: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'INSERT INTO T_TEST2(TEST2) VALUES ('TEST9')' at line 1 (MySQL error code: 1064, SQLState: 42000 )
Is there any way to make option 2 work?
