Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently it's hard to navigate through error messages presented in Web Console, especially if they are related to a long query.

Describe the solution you'd like.
  • Do not display query text that has resulted in the error
  • Display error position number within the query instead
  • Add an ability to click on error message -> place cursor in error position. If for some reason the actual query is no longer present in the editor, append it to the current editor buffer (on the bottom), in the same way "demo queries" are added in questdb demo web console.
Describe alternatives you've considered.
