Thanks for all the hints. Upat54wo> I do still have a problem, though. I am getting ORA-012560 - TNS:protocol adaptor error Believe me, if you have setup Oracle in a correct way (see the Oracle documentation) including Net8 (or whatever version you have) then working from inside a cygwin environment is no problem. Just be sure to set the following environment before you start your bash shell. This is what I have: [503]> env | grep ORA ORACLE_SID=VZ (needed for local connects) ORACLE_HOME=C:/oracle/o817 " [504]> env | grep TNS TNS_ADMIN=C:/oracle/admin (only needed if you have configured Net8 and have your tnsnames.ora in an unusual place) [505]> env | grep LOCAL (not deede at all, but useful sometimes) LOCAL=vz Ciao Volker -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
