Strange about the SUN/MySQL thing. . . I’ve always said the Java compiler is as good as the MySQL SQL error reporting is bad. Sure, “Cannot resolve symbol” may seem cryptic here or there but sure as hell more hepful than Error 1054, or whatever.

I’m not holding out any hope, though.

Well… This tool proved helpful for other programs as well which may also just print OS error code without good explanation. Though perhaps same applies to them – their messages should have been more user friendly.

100% agree. The perror program is the classic example of tool that should have never been created because… well,’ it’s bloody obvious! Why some automatic program should tell me a number that I have to put into another program to know what the error actually means? Simply give me the reason!

Got error 124 when reading table ‘.//’

I dont have more info but does that mean wrong index was give to some function? function name or other related info would have been more helpful.
