First time in an emacs session I call interactively to sql-connect,
after I am prompted with the "Connection: " to use, emacs fails to
process the request with:

    eval: Attempt to set a constant symbol: nil

Subsequent invocations of the comman works fine

I can reproduce with emacs -Q, evalling this:

    (setq sql-connection-alist
           '(("foo"
              (sql-product  'mysql)
              (sql-database "foo")
              (sql-server   "localhost")
              (sql-user     "foo")
              (sql-password ""))))

And doing M-x sql-connect, then typing "foo" at the prompt.

I tried to use foo, instead of "foo" in the variable definition.  It is
the same.

If this is a bug, I would be happy to test a patch.

Thanks
