Show errors for a specific inspection job

When you issue the , a NOTICE message is returned to the client showing the job ID, e.g.,

INSPECT TABLE movr.public.users AS OF SYSTEM TIME '-10s';

NOTICE:  waiting for INSPECT job to complete: 1141477013029322753
If the statement is canceled, the job will continue in the background.

To show errors for a job, issue the following statement:

SHOW INSPECT ERRORS FOR JOB 0;

SHOW INSPECT ERRORS 0

Show errors with details
