mysql queries do not work

through the database manager as a user I create 2 tables with a query
and add stuff into it. However it always returns with error syntax.

Then I go to phpmyadmin… execute the same queries…and…no problems.

It doesn’t matter on what domain or as which user I use the webmin module or what query i drop into it. Alway syntax errors, while phpmyadmin simply executes without failure.

Is there a setting I need to click on to make the module work? Or is there some bug? Pls explain in detail what I should do (Im a DBM novice)
