"EQ" is a program called ExecuteQuery. You can download the deb package
from www.executequery.org.
I use it all the time. It is written in Java.

I was testing a fairly verbose query and finding my typo took ages.
Usually running a statement using EQ and there is an error, it gives
you the character position, so you can quickly find your mistake and
try again.

Instead of reproducing the entire query I posted just the part causing
the problem. It appears Tatsuo Ishii has investigated further and
illustrated better as to what happens when the to_char mask lacks the
ending single quotation mark.

Cheers,
Rob
