Subject: 24.2; Invalid function when calling sql-connect

I defined some connections in sql-connection-alist like this:

(require 'sql)

(setq sql-connection-alist
      '((db1
         (sql-product 'mysql)
         (sql-server "localhost")
         (sql-user "tiger")
         (sql-password "scotch")
         (sql-database "db1")
         (sql-port 3306))
        (db2
         (sql-product 'mysql)
         (sql-server "localhost")
         (sql-user "tiger")
         (sql-password "scotch")
         (sql-database "db2"))))

When calling sql-connect Emacs errors with the message "Invalid
function: (db1 db2)" when hitting tab or when typing the connection name
and pressing enter.
