Thanks for checking this and for responding.
I'm using the HeidiSQL 9.3.0.4984 that came as part of the MariaDB 10.0.28 download.
I have not used the comand line, and would sooner do what I need to with a non-procedure succession of stand-alone queries (and some intermediary tables) in HeidiSQL (or some comparable client) than use the command line. In my limited DB experience, I've used only Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD for Oracle. Do you have any recommendations for free or low-cost HeidiSQL alternatives for MariaDB? I'll google about that, but value first-person recommendations.
Thanks again!
You can take a look at some alternatives at Graphical and Enhanced Clients. If this is a HeidiSQL issue, please report it as a bug - it seems a strangely trivial issue, so perhaps there's something else being missed that others can pick up when they try recreate it.
