I may have mentioned in passing in another post, I use MySQLWorkbench. If you 
copy/paste the sequel to create the table into the query browser, you will get 
a red X to the left of the offending line, and the part that is wrong will be 
in another color than the "good" sql. It's pretty easy to see or determine at 
that point what the problem is. I would think just about any SQL tool would 
have some kind of feature like this.
