Insufficient Detail in ORA-00904 Messages

Oracle message "ORA-00904 - invalid column name" must be one of the most infuriating messages ever devised for not identifying the particular column name resulting in the error. After entering a SQL statement of several hundred lines which contains an incorrectly spelt column name, identifying the column concerned can be extreemly time-consuming. Why can't ORA-00904 identify the invalid column name?

Anyway, does anyone know of a handy utily or whatever which can provide this much needed capability?

Thanks in advance. Received on Tue Oct 05 1999 - 19:14:45 CDT
