I would ask the provider anyway.
An error in a mysql statement usually does not cause a 500 internal error. An error is signaled to the script and it can handle it.
code 500 suggest that the script was either aborted (maybe externaly) or never invoked (blocked by some software).
Those blockers are called web application firewalls. Whenever I came in contact with one I found it useless and annoying - but that's just imho (maybe becaue I only met the dumb or badly maintained installations ;)).
