Dreamweaver freezes/crashes on testing recordset

Hello, I am brand new to these products and have very recently purchased Data Bridge and MYSQLi - I am quite confused enough with the lack of a clear path for learning the software other than many outcome-specific mini tutorials. What's not helping me is that Dreamweaver keeps crashing whenever I try to use MYSQLi extension. Here what causes the crash - and yes, it's repeatable....

1. After setting up my site and server and then creating a mysqli DB connection I then attempt to create a recordset exactly according to the tutorial. (see image attachment 1)

2. I then try to create a filter (as you can see in the screenshot) but when I hit the TEST button I get a MYSQL Error #1064 and then the entire DW app freezes and I have to force quit it.

I have uninstalled all other extensions as a precaution and uninstalled and reinstalled Data Bridge and the MYSQLi extensions and the problem still remains.

I am using Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Creative Cloud subscriber) on Mac Yosemite. Can anybody offer any advice please. Also, if anybody could point me in the direction of a good workflow for the tutorials I would prefer that over the pick-and-mix approach. My only aim si to build non-ecommerce dynamic sites.

Thanks
