No multiple SQLi buffers in emacs 24.2.1 anymore?

Question

i recently updated to from openSuSE 11.4 to 12.2 with GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.4).

When i start the first SQLi buffer (sql-mysql), all works a before, but when i want to start another SQLi buffer (sql-mysql) the first SQLi opens immediately. I'm not able to insert new connection parameters. That worked before.

Thanks, Lars

Update: From sql.el.gz:

To set the buffer name directly, use universal-argument before sql-mysql. Once session has started, sql-rename-buffer can be called separately to rename the buffer.

When i rename the first sql buffer with (sql-rename-buffer), the problem still exists.

I do not have the explanation, it is just in the error message: "use universal-argument before sql-mysql" means that you should call it with the universal argument in order to give it a buffer name. You can give that with C-u as a prefix. Perhaps you'd like to read more about it here.
