Hi,

i'm trying to add SQL product by following steps from the introduction
section in the sql.el, but for the settings
:sqli-program
:sqli-login
:sqli-options
it fails with "attemt to set a constant symbol: nil"

In 'emacs -Q' executing it step-by-step:

(require 'sql)

(sql-add-product 'xyz "XyzDB"
                 '(:free-software t))

(defcustom my-sql-xyz-program "ixyz"
  "Command to start ixyz by XyzDB."
  :type 'file
  :group 'SQL)

;; NEXT STEP FAILS WITH:
;; Debugger entered--Lisp error: (setting-constant nil)
;;  sql-set-product-feature(xyz :sqli-program my-sql-xyz-program)
;;  eval((sql-set-product-feature (quote xyz) :sqli-program (quote my-sql-xyz-program)) nil)
(sql-set-product-feature 'xyz
                         :sqli-program 'my-sql-xyz-program)

;; BUT THIS TWO ARE OK
(sql-set-product-feature 'xyz
			 :prompt-regexp "^xyzdb> ")
(sql-set-product-feature 'xyz
			 :prompt-length 7)

Sorry for lack of replies so far.

I've now pushed these changes to the master branch, and I'm closing
the bug report.  In the future, please be sure to state in the log
message the function(s) where you make changes.
