In DataGrip error messages, what does "position" mean?


Background

I'm doing some error debugging on a big PostgreSQL query someone's helped me out with. I work in DataGrip, I'm trying to use the error messages to help me out (like in any programming GUI).

The Problem

The issue is that it's telling me that the error's occurring at a certain "position", but it's not clear from anything in the GUI or the DataGrip documentation what that means. Here's a sample error message:

But as I look around my screen, all I see in terms of indicators of where my cursor is is the line and column indicator in the bottom-right:

In that screenshot, I'm on like 464 and column 25 of my current console.

Anyone have an idea? This feels frustratingly novice, but I'm stuck.
