They use different buffers. Problem is in the default initial input of
"Database: " prompt.

It makes no sense that after invoking {M-x sql-sqlite RET} the
subsequent invocation of {C-u M-x sql-postgres RET} has default
initial input in the "Database: " prompt, something like this:

/home/data1/protected/tmp/business

Because PostgreSQL databases are not file names.

I hope that now it is clear how it comes to conflation of initial
input. Subject is not clear enough.
