That may well be the problem - a query is referring to a column called
"options" which as you've said doesn't exist, hence the error message.
I've also seen this when a string value isn't quoted, e.g. -
insert into (....) values ('abc', options, ...) ...
When this happens the server thinks that the query is taking the value
of a column called 'options', instead of the literal value 'options'.
