use one of sqlplus or oracle developer to repeat your query, they usually 
mark the right spot where the error ocurred.

Very amusing, well done.

(they always mark *a* spot, often an entirely different one. I don't 
castigate them for this: parser error recovery is notoriously difficult. 
But the numbered-error-messages thing just makes everything so much harder 
than it should be...)
