*SOLVED*
Yesterday my host upgraded to mySQL 5.7, which included changing to the Barracuda file format (previously Antelope). So now the SQL commands were successfully executed and my "compact" database tables have been converted to "dynamic."
So I'd like to report a happy ending to my adventure. A big Thank You to the forum members for the advice and providing the SQL commands to do it.

Thomas_B got a reaction from bfarber in IPS 4.5.4: InnoDB tables are using Compact row format...
