I am an SQL rookie and I would very much appreciate some assistance on this rather basic issue.

alter table OCEAN_ANTENNE_TEMP
add column ANT_TILT_M number(5) not null,
ANT_FSC_ANT number(4,1) default 0;
/

why is this query giving me this error:

SQL Error: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier 00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
