sql.el multiple connections

[emacs]

Help on sql-oracle version 3.4 claims:

  Run sqlplus by Oracle as an inferior process.

  If buffer `*SQL*'exists but no process is running, make a
  new process.  If buffer exists and a process is running,
  just switch to buffer `*SQL*'.

and this is the way it used to work on xemacs, which has a
much older version (2.0.1) of sql.el.

However, this doesn't seem to be the case.  It looks like
sql-oracle (or sql-find-sqli-buffer) maybe looking for a
buffer in SQLi[Oracle]:run mode and just uses it, even if it
is not named '*SQL*'

How can I run two oracle sessions simultaneously with this
new sql.el.
