Does the comment column exist? If yes, is it created via Laravel migration?

Another possible cause is the comment column is stored as "comment" and it should be "COMMENT".

You're right, the field name was in lowercase. It seems that I changed it in the migration to $table->string('"comment"') (with quotes) because I was getting the error "Error Message : ORA-00904: "comment": ", but this is because I use the comment method, If I remove it, it works fine and creates the field in uppercase (bug?).

Migration code that fails:

       Schema::table('my_table', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->string('comment')
                ->nullable()
                ->after('other_field')
                ->comment('The comment.');
        });

Thank you very much!

Not a bug but expected behavior. I think comment is a reserved word in Oracle and the solution for this limitation is to make all the fields in uppercase. By default, all fields created via Laravel migration will be converted to uppercase. If you want it to be case sensitive, you enclose the field name with a double quote but this is not advisable since it causes a lot of issues when working with eloquent and query builder.
